Just thought I'd share these numbers....

I moved to Neanderthin from Atkins lowcarb around Feb/Mar of this
year, and my recent cholesterol screenings have yielded:

Total Cholesterol       130
HDL                      43
HDL/Total Ratio         3.0
Triglyc.                 41

I have at least 2 hardboiled eggs for breakfast everyday (sometimes
take an extra 2 into work for afternoon snack) and eat Dairy Queen
hamburgers (which are probably cooked in some very, very bad oils,
but I am ignoring this fact until I'm a little more progressed in
the program) once or twice a week for lunch.

I'm actually amazed that my numbers were as low as they were, as
my nutrition habits slipped to some pretty low points in April
during the festival of the turning of the 3-0.
