O...So psyched you're having fun with exercise!<br /><br />On another note: I mnow this isn't the lo-carb debate forum, but my cholesterol DROPPED significantly after 6 mos on Atkins. Dr. A wrote the liver produces more cholesterol in response to blood sugar spikes. So, controlling blood sugar should result in lower total cholesterol, even if you're eating more animal fat, which turned out to be the case for me.<br /><br />Today, no longer on Atkins, still a vegetarian, with a BMI of 21, my TC is high. Which makes me wonder whether Atkins actually works at controlling serum cholesterol. Which certainly would NOT mean that it's the best or only way to control serum cholesterol, or an ethical or sustainable approach to eating. -victoriaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18216157.post-80083269994449117442009-11-05T05:45:35.266-08:002009-11-05T05:45:35.266-08:00good for you :) boxing class definitely sounds lik...good for you :) boxing class definitely sounds like a great new adventure!Kristyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11626002756594525585noreply@blogger.com
