Talking woohooo - cholesterol results

Just had to share this... I was kind of worried since Id never had my cholesterol tested before. Had it done last week....my doctor just called....

Total 128
LDL 68
HDL 54
Trig. 32

He said that I have the lowest triglycerides he has ever seen in his practice. It was at that moment I informed him that I had been on ATKINS since August and had lost 20 lbs. He said "well your results are great!" WOOHOO..... another Atkins triumph!!!!

Wow! Fantastic news pookalee!

I'm going to see my Dr. in a couple of weeks. I'm sure he'll want to do bloodwork. I'll have been on Atkins 6 weeks by then, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

That's wonderful! My Tri's went down 136 points in 3 months!!!
Bones- usually the doctors wait until 3 months to do blood tests, for more acurate results.

Keep up the good work everybody

Thanks for the info Alli. I've heard that my Dr. is now a big fan of Atkins, so it will be interesting to hear what he has to say.
