Hi,
Im a little concerned. I want to start a plan. ( again) Not sure which one. I have tried, Atkins, SB, Fat Flush, WW, and Calorie Counting. Have a hard time sticking to them. I WANt to commit to one. Here is my concern, My Blood test have come back and my numbers are this:
2002:
Cholesterol= 320 high
Triglycerides= 316 high
HDL = 58 good
L D L = 199 high
Total ratio = 5.5 high
Risk was high 3.43
-----------------------------
2004 results Feb
Cholestrol Total= 239 high
Triglycerides = 412 high
HDL = 45 good
L D L Not valid due to tri's were over 400
CHOL/HDL Ration 5.31 high
CHD Risk= 1.4 high

--------------------------------------------------------
My doctor has perscribe Niaspan for me to take to lower my triglycerides.
Im not really sure if I want to take it. TO many side effect. It is time released and Im to take at night. ANyone taking this?

Secondly, will atkins, (if I can stick to it or SB) help with my cholestrol.
I do see some of my numbers dropped but, my tris went up.

Im hypothyroid/hashimotos here. and that I know plays a role

I would love to drop 50 pounds without dropping on the ground ...

Thanks
