Is the Low carb atkins diet, bad for your cholesterol?

If you do it correctly and still limit your intake of red meat and eat mostly fish and poultry, it will not be bad for your cholesterol. The Atkins works and you won't gain the weight back if you add carbs back in slowly, like 5 grams extra every week. Also, the Atkins requires 2/3 of your carbs to come from leafy vegetables which would combat high cholesterol as well.
