 Re: Cholesterol | |
Dr. Atkins recommends having your blood tests done 6 weeks after you started the diet. While your total cholesterol increased, what happened to your HDL, LDL and triglycerides? The way cholesterol breaks down into these is more important than the total number.
What is a typical menu for you? Are you in OWL or extended induction?

"The truth is that temptation lurks everywhere, unless you deny yourself a social and working life and the attendant pleasures of eating out. I believe that the best way to overcome temptation is not with willpower, which is so often in short supply, but with our brain power, a potentially unlimited resource.
Imagine that you're doing great, losing weight, feeling better than ever, thrilled with yourself, hearing compliments from friends and acquaintances---and then it happens! Despite all your good intentions, you're mightily tempted by a food you're not supposed to have. What to do? I'll tell you this: You'd better have a strategy ready!"
