My very good cholesterol reading six months in

**momtomany1** · #1 February 13th, 2009, 09:19 PM

After starting in mid August, losing well over 50 pounds, I had a blood workup done last week.

My total is 192, HDL is 50, which is 4 points higher than my last cholesterol test, so improvment there! Triglycerides were 71, LDL 128, ratio 3.84, which is a quite respectable ratio.

Here's to butter on your broccoli and beef on your plate!

Those numbers are great. Proof positive this works. I had mine done at the beginning of the month after 6 weeks on Atkins. My HDL sucks, but everything else was great:

Total Cholesterol -137

HDL 29

LDL 93.8

Cholesterol/HDL 4.7
Triglycerides 71

I guess I need more fiber, exercise, and to quit smoking to get the HDL up.
