Default Does atkins lower cholesterol?

Does the Atkins diet actually lower cholesterol?
I don't have his book anymore, but I thought I read that a while back...


Also, how does this WOE affect the liver?

Hi cyberspacestar:

My total cholesterol at a pre-employment physical in 1999 was 239.

My last physical in July, total cholesterol 169.

Hope that helps and have a great day!

Yep... most people see a significant improvement in cholesterol levels.. BP numbers too... Dr. Atkins was a cardiologist before he became a weight loss expert. Blood sugar improves too. It's just plain healthy!
