cholesterol woes...

I started Atkins on April 29, 2003 and at present I am down to 163 pounds. I am happy about that

but I went to the doc for a cholesterol check before I started and then again just about 2 weeks ago. When I started my total cholesterol was 138 and the bad cholesterol (or LDL was 69) - now my total cholesterol is 209 and the bad (LDL) is 138!

I am so bummed because it's always been good, and I do NOT want to quit this diet. I think for one thing I have been eating too much red meat and using too much heavy cream. Any other suggestions would be sooooo appreciated.

Thanks,
Nicki
