Default Lovastatin

Hey All,

Going on my 8th week (extended induction) and remain in ketosis. 33 lbs lost so far.

A year ago I was put on Lovastatin because my hdl/ldl "ratio" was too high.

I stopped taking it when I started induction, afraid it might hinder weight loss or something (I also eliminated Motrin and Flexeril and feel great).

I asked my Doctor about it and he's absolutely against me being on the Atkins Diet ("It's a bunch of bull. You can't eat like that forever."), so he's not a very helpful resource.

Does anyone know if Lovastatin interferes with weight loss during the Atkins WOE?

Thanks!
