Just to let you know... my doc had nothing but positives to say about atkins after my lipids came back well, and my weight loss was so positive. Liver enzymes were excellent, cholesterol was much improved, etc... I think it all depends upon the doctor and how educated they are with low carb lifesytles. My doc, who was also overweight, is now doing his own low carb life and has lost weight and feels better as well. I would not give his name here because of professional courtesy, but will say that he's a convert. My success has just been a part of it, but he has educated himself on my journey as much as I have. If your doc has a real problem with it, I'd suggest getting a different opinion.

Not as thick.... Rick
