| Here is some stuff I found on the atkins.com FAQ page. Isn't doing Atkins bad for your heart? http://atkins.com/helpatkins/faqs/fa...yourheart.html |

| Most people on the Atkins Nutritional program lower their cholesterol and improve their blood lipid profile (HDL/Total ratio and Triglyceriedes) which is MUCH more important than the total cholesterol number. No, Atkins is not "bad for your heart." Remember that Robert Atkins was a cardiologist. Ozziesgirl's link is only a part of the story. There's no substitute for reading the whole book. Also search the Atkins site for research articles "Science behind Atkins" for more information - and articles to print out and give to your doctor if he/she isn't up on the latest research. HTH p.s. bubblicious, typing in all caps is like shouting on a bulletin board. Just a friendly FYI. Maggie 5'1" Atkins since '98 (160) Maintaining nicely (110) Redhead until further notice! |

| When I started this WOE my cholesterol was 278. Six weeks later I had it checked and it was 140. All of my other levels dramatically improved also. So I know for a fact this WOE is much better for me. Beverly 03/25/03 290/238/150 Bevben |

| What Maggie says is absolutely right! I have been low carbing for 21 months - in that time, I've lowered my total cholesterol from 284 to 201, lowered my triglycerides from 555 to 57, and lowered my blood pressure from 140/100 to 110/70. Additionally, I've increased my cardio stamina and no longer have arrhythmia. Bad for my heart? Horrible for cholesterol? Not mine!

| If your doctor thinks that meds are called for, don't fight him.......It's much better than a heart attack. I've been on Lipitor for years. My most recent bloods (last week) gave me a rating of below average risk of heart disease. I'm all for that. I have way too much family history of heart diesase. Anything and everything to prevent the problem is a positive in my book. I've seen the effects of heart disease --- I don't want to go there.
