My cholesterol DOUBLED on Atkins (I was losing 3 lbs per week, so I let myself go overboard on fats).

Wow! I feel privileged!

My doc had put me on cholesterol meds and they gave me cramps. He put me on a different one which I didn't take. Eight weeks later I went back for a follow-up and he went on and on about how much the 2d cholesterol med was helping me.

I finally had to fess up and tell him the truth!

The Niaspan he gave me to test out gave me painfully sore muscles. The usual exercises gave me sore muscles days later than made it hard to walk (as if I jogged 5 miles for the first time.) I thought that wasting away without strength or cardio would not be the key to health, so I dropped the meds.
