I had lab work done last year at work as part of their health
promotions. At the time I was breast feeding my 10 month old. My
cholesterol levels came back a little high. I really don't have a family
hx. of choleserol problems. I felt I ate a healthy diet also. Last
winter, my husband started on the Atkins diet. Since I was cooking for
him, I changed my diet habits somewhat also. I ate a modified Atkins
diet because I was breast feeding I didn't want to be breaking down stored
fats and releasing them in the milk. I increased my proteins and fats and
decreased my carbohydrates. I really thought nothing of it. I wasn't
trying to loose weight I was just eating what I was preparing. I went to
the health fair in Oct. of this year; still breast feeding my 21 month
old. They did the lab work again. Interestingly, my cholesterol improved
33% across the board. The good went up and the bad went down. I have
been eating an egg, sausage or bacon every morning! After reading Atkin's
book, I am a firm believer in his diet, if you want to loose weight or
improve your health. I would recommend she look into his book.
