nk.net... I like the HDL and Triglyceride numbers but am still concerned with the Total and especially the LDL Can I expect these numbers to start going down after another 6-12 weeks on Atkins? I have heard that is presicley what happens but can't verify it Cholesterol is hard to predict. However, as long as your insulin levels are down, and you are taking plenty of vitamin E and other anti-oxidants, cholesterol won't harm you. You have a good HDL/LDL ratio and your Triglycerides are way down, and that is the important thing. |
