Hi Everyone...
Liz.....
I went to my Dr. after not being there for a few months...in that interim I had gone on Atkins. When she saw I had lost 15 #s, she was very pleased....I told her I was on Atkins...and her 1st response.."was she was concerned about risking raising my cholesterol, etc...."
I told her.."just look at my lab report!" (which she hadn't gotten to yet)....She did: Total Cholesterol...198, down to 153....LDL...95, down to 88.....VLDL (whatever that is) 47, down to 18...and tryglicerides....236, down to 91.....
Then we talked...She had been hearing a lot of the "press" on the low carb WOE and was interested in learning more.... Then she said..."great, Let's just follow this process along its way!" So, thankfully, I have an open-minded Dr. who isn't all caught up in the old nutrition charts!......
Hopefully, there are more Dr.s out there that will at least be willing to learn more about the "science" of LCing!....
