It’s not just Atkins. Numerous studies have shown co-incidence of LDL cholesterol reduction in conjunction with a whole egg/fatty (not salty) breakfast meat breakfast.

I eat my eggs either scrambled or in an omelet with two slices of Wright brand low sodium bacon three to five times a week, no bread, glass of 2% milk, and my total cholesterol plummeted from 175 to 129 and has held steady under 130 for 18 months. LDL is under 100 and HDL is consistently over 50.

Omega 6 fatty acids (often found in breads and grains) have been shown to actually increase inflammation in the arteries, thus increasing the risk of a cardiac event. Omega 3s have the opposite effect. I also take a daily fish oil supplement and eat a lot of fish/seafood.

“I eat my eggs either scrambled or in an omelet...”

...I’ve been on low carb for 14 years and all my blood levels are excellent! I too take Omega 3’s along with probiotics. I allow one sweet thing a day. Usually 75 - 80% cocoa chocolate.

It's all a matter of how healthy your liver is and in how your liver can get rid of toxins in your body and at the same time get rid of the bad cholesterol and produce the good cholesterol.
Stress is another factor in how your liver can function.
If your liver is over stressed and busy trying to get rid of the toxins in your body, it can't properly function and regulate your good and bad cholesterol in your body.
Yes, stress is a real factor in how our bodies function and regulate certain functions in our bodies.
Getting enough sleep can be a factor.
