I have been with my doctor for over 30 years. Because of another condition, I have to have full lab work every 90 days. He is always amazed at my blood lipids and especially my triglycerides. My healthy/good cholesterol went from 26 to 58. I have lost over 120 pounds and my health hasn't been this good in 20 years.

If you really want to read what Dr. Atkins has to say about fats, get the book "Atkins For Life" and read the section about mixing fats for optimum health. The good doctor knew what he was talking about.

If you really want to knock your docs socks off, eat avocado, black olives, extra virgin olive oil and fish a few times a week and your good cholesterol will skyrocket and your bad will come down. All allowed and encouraged on this WOE.

Sunny!
