It's been 4 weeks since I've gone on a low-carb diet, and I've already lost 15 pounds. I'm interested to see what it's actually doing to lower my cholesterol and triglyceride levels. Two months ago, my cholesterol was at a whopping 290 and my TRI was a freakish 528. Luckily, during one of Jo's appointments, her doctor ran across my readouts, and suggested a low-carb atkins-like diet for me. He showed me his own levels before and after, and it was very similar to mine. Little did I know that my cholesterol could be lowered by eating less carbohydrates. Now, I don't eat rice or potatoes. I still drink the occasional coke and eat candy, though. And I have lapses where I go nuts on a piece of bread. Now, my main goal is to consistently exercise.

lunch - beef tenderloin salad with spinach and a vinagrette, small portion of chicken curry salad, 2 deviled eggs, 3 pineapple slices, 6-7 honey walnut prawns

dinner - chicken pot pie (minus the pie), a sprite, and three funs size candy bars (oooppss) Damn you Halloween candy, damn you to hell!!
