Cholesterol on it's way down!!!

[Chicagobigandtall]

Just had my Cholesterol tested this morning and it is on the way down. I went from 225 to 206 for total. My HDL did go down 3 points and my LDL also went down 10 points, so my ratio stayed at 5.1... I know it should be more like 4.5, but I am happy with the total decrease in the last 6 weeks.

Got to keep working on it and exercising...

Hurray for low-carb

Congrats!!!!! You are doing great, Keep up the good work. Anytime cholesterol goes down instead of up you have something to bragg about.

Great News! Try adding in more monounsaturated fats; they have a good effect on hdl as well as a lowering effect on ldl.

I was reading in the Wall Street Journal last week about Lipitor (atrovastatin calcium - LDL lowering drug) and torcetrapib, a new drug that Pfizer is making that will raise HDL. I found it interesting that they are planning on only offering it if you take it with Lipitor, and will not be sold alone... What a great marketing ploy.
