newby

Hello,
I’m new to the group. My name is Diane. I’m 50 and just started on the
Atkins diet. My concern, although I’ve read the book, is my high
cholesterol. It’s the best diet I’ve ever been on as far as hunger. I stay
satisfied, but I would like to hear from people with like concerns who have
been on the diet a while.
Thanks a lot and glad to be here,
Diane

    Diane, did you get your cholesterol checked before you started?
    Those numbers are always nice to have.
    Even though you won’t have your baseline numbers (from before you
    started the WOE) you might want to have it checked the next time you
    go to the doctors, just to be safe.
    I could be wrong, but I thought that if your cholesterol DID go up,
    it was probably going to be because of in increase in the good
    cholesterol, not the bad. Can anyone help me out with this???
    I had mine checked before starting, and found that although my
    overall number was a little high, my GOOD cholesterol was through the
    roof, and my doctor had no issues with me doing Atkins.
