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.
