Cholesterol update after 3 momths....
In October I posted that my cholesterol was way up, I had only been on Atkins for 1 week when I had blood work done and my ttl cholesterol was 244. My LDL was 170. I've never had high cholesterol and 9 months earlier my total was only 179. Had more done today and I'm happy to say that my total is now 199, that's down 45 points. My LDL is 124, HDL 58 and triglicerides 84.
Thank goodness! I was terrified my numbers would be high. The only thing I can figure out is that some people have a reaction of some kind to eggs and I was eating 3+ per day. I've cut back on those somewhat, but that's the only change I've made. I still eat eggs though. I've never had high cholesterol and am at a loss for the high number but I'm happy that after more than 3 months on this WOE my numbers are still good.
