My cholesterol is great (I am blessed with good genes, noone in my family has ever had a heart attack that I know of), and my triglyerides have actualy come down on the low carb diet.
I am pretty strict ablut fat as well as carbs, I'm not doing the atkins thing where you load up on fatty meat and cheeese and butter, I make sure my meat is lean, but the fat off of my bacon, cook my eggs in a poacher without oil etc.
I find that 250 calories of chicken breast and salad for lunch keeps me satisfied a lot longer than a 250 calorie sandwhich where most of the calories come from bread and butter (you get a bin hunk of skinless chicken breast for 250 calories)....... it might not suit everybody, but it works for me.
One thing, it is a bit low in fibre, so I take a glass of Metamucil every morning, and I take a Centrum multivitamin every day with dinner "just in case"
