hello folks,

have any of you here tried the atkins (lo carb) diet?
if so, have you used it in combination with any natural cholesterol lowering supplements?
(such red yeast rice, garlic, etc.)

i have lost 27 lbs in a little more than 3 months,
but my total cholesterol just came back at 257 with LDL of 180 and HDL of 58.

i would like ot keep losing the weight (another 25 or so to go), but i dont want to risk the CHD.
i was thinking of adding a supplement.
thoughts?
thanks and best of luck to you all,
tone
