I am very pleased to say that after 3 yrs of mostly low carb eating , my results are better than they were 7 yrs ago !

They are :

Total cholesterol 182

HDL 73

LDL 99

Triglyceride 48

My doctor put a note on my test and wrote :
"Here are you cholesterol results . As I told you on the phone , they are very good . Your "good" cholesterol ... is GREAT ! "


My weight is down 30 lbs , my bad cholesterol went down , and my good cholesterol is UP . and my triglycerides are down as well .
the only thing I have really been doing differently is eating low carb . I do cheat every now and then , and as a matter of fact , I had been on a bit of a off phase when I took my cholesterol test . This is inspiring me to do a little experiment , and stay absolutely low carb for a few months and then go get retested , I would be curious to see how much better the results would be then !

BTW , it was a good feeling to be able to show all my uninformed , worrywart friends and family my results ( along with my old results ) , I think this opened alot of their eyes as to low carb being healthy . HOnestly after going from eating very lowfat , almost fat phobic ( never eating skin or fat on meat , NO butter or oil , no cheese or cream , etc. ) to eating a stick of butter a day , the fattiest cuts of steak ( mmmm ) , and eggs almost every morning , this really is saying something to have the numbers be better now .

Congratulations
It's such a great feeling to see the proof in black and white of how healthy this woe is. It's even better when you've had people giving you a hard time about the dangers of low carb. Ha ha - feels so good - Congratulations again
