I can prove it. I am a Pyhsician. I have been on 20 grams of carbohydrates a day for about 7 weeks, I have lost 15 lbs. My Cholesterol yesterday was 150, HDL 52 and LDL was 82. Your results may vary...

Lower carb intake also lowers cholesterol? I have no weight problem & exercise regularly but still have high LDL and HDL levels.

I'm sick of oatmeal & don't want to bother with cholesterol lowering drugs.

C'mon, lay a little free advise on me doc.

I can't say that it will LOWER your cholesterol, thought Atkins does say it may. Atkins says it does raise your cholesterol for several weeks and then it goes down. My cholesterol has never been over 150. O.K., guilty, I was a little misleading, but I was trying to show that Atkins won't necessarily RAISE your lipids. Of course this goes against everything the "establishment" is trying to push.

The good Dr. is telling you true. My blood chemistry showed radical improvements in all areas after two months on Atkins. Maybe it can be used to control your cholesterol even if you don't need to lose weight.

It's your life. After five heart caths I'm pretty convinced high cholesterol might just be a problem.

Roll the dice.
