Boards are acting weird so I'll post fast before it's lost again.

In February, my cholesterol was 292 total - (Triglycerides 106, HDL 61, LDL 210) The total was too high, but my good cholestreol was great and my triglycerides we ok, too, but my bad cho was BAD.

Today...my total was 213. It went down almost 80 points !!!!!!!!! Tri's were 114, HDL was 65, LDL was 125 !!!!!!! Yeah, my tri's went up a BIT, but holy crap ! My bad went DOWN by 85 ! And my good got BETTER !!!!

It's working ! It's working !(doin' the happy dance!!!!)

Kathy ! You are too sweet ! I really WANTED to do Atkins the right way, but when your body is just not jiving with it, then it's time for tweakage. Of course, when I post on Atkins, I am met with either curiosity or 'You CAN'T do it that way!!!'

Well, it worked for me, and it's not like I pulled some diet out of my butt, y'know ?

My dietician is outrageously over-educated and knows her stuff. She LIKES Atkins and the 'caveman' diet - similar to Atkins except no processed foods.

And how can you believe that eating all that saturated fat is NOT going to catch up with you five to ten years down the road ?

I still can't get over I dropped 79-80 points just by changing my diet! And imagined if I excersized more ? Holy crap !

Apparently my profile got erased during the Message Board's freak-out yesterday, so here is my email - barking_shark@msn.com It doesn't show when I post, but there is an 'underscore' line between barking and shark. Just can't see it.

I'll be online this evening so pop by and say hello !

And for anyone reading this, you are more than welcome to mail me also, if you'd like to yap !
