My wife is freaking out about me going on a low carb diet!!!
I'm 33 y/o, 6ft 0in, and 200 lb. My ideal weight would be around 180 lbs. Also noteworthy was a recent blood test revealed my cholesterol was 223.
I just started a few days ago and my wife is freaking out about how unhealthy this induction phase is and how my cholesterol is going to triple. I've tried giving referrences regarding the limited research Atkins has posted on his site but to no avail.
Does anyone have any personal testimonies of how this diet has affected you cholesterol levels? Please feel free to post before and after LDL and HDL ratios and triglyceride levels.
Help me please!... Before my wife nags me off this diet.
