Charles,

The graph was one I found that compared two gentlemen, one who went on  a LC
diet and one who did Ornish's HC/LF diet.  The results were what we usually see:
LC equalled higher HDL lower LDL and triglycerides. Using the Ornish diet,  had
a greater loss of total cholesterol (-24% compared to -13%) but, a 3% DECREASE
in HDL  and a 75 INCREASE in triglycerides. Using the Atkins diet, the gentleman
had a 60% INCREASE in HDL and a 62% DECREASE in triglycerides.

These numbers mirror my experience an generally that of my patients
