I went to the doctors this month and just got the results of my
lab work. I wanted to post, to show that Atkins is indeed a
healthier way to eat
Last Year(low fat) Since Atkins 7/8/02
Cholesterol, Total 212 174
Triglycerides 400 145
HDL 46 43
VLDL 80 29
LDL 86 102
LDL/HDL ratio 1.8 2.3

I was very pleased with this, especially my total cholesterol,
triglycerides and VLDL And I had stopped
taking my cholesterol-lowering drug, so these results were
obtained just by following the diet. Atkins does work!
