: good for you alan !!

: i neglected to get my cholesterol checked before starting atkins 3+ months ago.

: i got it done last week and total cholesterol was 257, LDL was 180, HDL was 58.
: i had blood work done 4 yrs ago - total was 227, LDL was 150 and HDL was 40.

: so i am looking for approaches that are atkins-friendly for lowering it.
: i am considering red yeast rice, garlic, lecithin, and Dr. A's cholesterol
: formula and mega-pantethine supplements.

: i started exercising too - 30 minutes of nordic track every other day

: thoughts? anyone?
: thanks,
