Oh yeah...congrats on hitting your goal
goodness where are my manners??
I was just shocked that an Atkineer had high BP. Are you under stress?? Does it run in your family?? Of course I'd recommend you follow your doctor's orders. Hopefully it won't affect your carbs in a way to throw you off from your weight goal.

surprisingly adding back some grains in the morning didn't cause any cravings or weight gain. i'm still at goal!
my doctor just told me to eat no fast foods and stop eating greasy foods. also, he told me to exercise but no need, i exercise everyday lol

Default Re: so i reached my goal weight but...

I am wondering if you need to add some good fat to your diet. It looks pretty sparse in your menu. So does food...but I am not at maintence so have no idea what a menu at that stage looks like. Also check out this link to add fiber that helps lower it also. carbs in fiber supplement
You could sprinkle on your salad. And of course if you do your 2 cups of veggies and 1 cup other veggie every day that would add even more.

Good on you for reaching goal and checking in with a doctor. Keep up the great work! Very impressive...especially for your age! You rock!

Congrats on reaching goal.

As to the high cholesterol, you are sure not getting it from eating meat because you aren't eating any!. I would suggest Atkins maintenance and lots of exercise.Both are good for cholesterol. The diet you have listed above is pretty much starvation food. At your age, you sure need some protein!

If you don't choose atkins for maintenance, at least choose some healthy, balanced plan and stay with it.

High Cholesterol can also be hereditary. Does yur family have a history of it? If so you may now or eventually need medication to reduce it. Bestwishes!

So you're basically eating a low fat, high carb diet now.

Stay on Atkin's is the only advice I can give you. Mine went from 307 to 198 just 2 weeks ago. God Bless, Joe
