Weight Loss Forum / Low Carb / May 2006Lab results after two years
Just got my lab results back from my yearly checkup. I started Atkins just over two years ago, and I've been maintaining for almost a year. Glucose: 91 mg/dL (It was 108 just before I started on Atkins) Cholesterol: 187 Triglycerides: 48 Chol/HDL ratio: 2.9 HDL cholesterol: 64 LDL cholesterol: 113 The only one that's high is the "good cholesterol," and that only slightly. I'm quite pleased. And I get to tell my mother that she still doesn't have to worry about how much beef and bacon I eat.

[quoted text clipped - 14 lines] > Started 3/1/04 > 208/118/118 good job! seems like you lost 90 lbs in about a year? Amazing! I have a question, if you don't mind - what's your height? I am about 5'3" and people always comment on my goal weight of 120 so I was curious if you were around my height. thanks - and keep doing what you're doing, it works!! >> Just got my lab results back from my yearly checkup.

I lost 78 pounds (my initial goal, 130 pounds) in almost exactly a year, then lost another 12 pounds over the next five months or so. So about a year and a half for the whole 90 pounds. >Amazing!

Even higher than that is great! Jennifer > Just got my lab results back from my yearly checkup. I started Atkins > just over two years ago, and I've been maintaining for almost a year.

Someone was asking in another thread if cholesterol stays low on lc maintenance, or just when you're losing. I guess you answered that question. > Just got my lab results back from my yearly checkup.

[quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > The only one that's high is the "good cholesterol," and that only > slightly. A small but helpful tip the "good cholesterol".. just remember .. HDL=HIGHLY desirable cholesterol LDL= LESS desirable cholesterol.. Congrats on the improvement..Fats are not the villains today, but for 20+years, they were considered unhealthy..I still foolishly have a low fat-highcarb cookbook.. just hate to throw out books.. Your labs again confirm the reality of fats, so I am placing that silly cookbook in the gargage..nearer the trash container.. |I still foolishly have a low fat-highcarb |cookbook.. |just hate to throw out books.. I do too. I somehow ended up with my mother's and grandmother's old cookbooks from the 1940's and 1950's. This was before people were afraid of fat and cooked everything with eggs and butter. I've been able to adapt a lot of those old recipes to my low-carb way of eating. But I'm still trying to figured out make that white layer cake with the seven-minute frosting low carb! <g> I love old cookbooks.....I have a Watkins cookbook from 1940 and the a lot of the recipes call for Lard....hard to find now days.

[quoted text clipped - 12 lines] >> But I'm still trying to figured out make that white layer cake with >> the seven-minute frosting low carb! <g> But most of it has partially hydrogenated fats in it which means transfats. :-( In news:YJt6g.964$St.124@fe08.lga, nanner <nospam@nospam.nospam> stated | hard to find recipes with lard or to find lard? lard they have at my | local supermartkets > But most of it has partially hydrogenated fats in it which means transfats. > :-( Umm... not in lard I buy. It's 100% lard. Not hard to find, IME. |
