So my blood report came in.. and I am in for trouble..

Oct 9, 1999
15,216

81
Triglycerides : 389
Cholestrol : 296
HDL : 39
LDL: 180

Weight: 180lbs

HOLY Crap. I was told to go on the atkins, guess what.. mom's sabotaging it for me.

UGH!

How do i get her to stop giving me low fat, and what she thinks is healthy food. I must say i put on 20 lbs since i got back from india, and all of it is due to mom's cooking .. i have put on weight every time i came back to LA from school.

Any ideas short of moving out and cooking my own food.

You don't have to move out...but...you could, you know, grow up and cook your own damn food!

Cooking my own food.. sure.. but she usually says i make a mess of her kitchen.. so that wont work. And the reason i cant move out besides not able to afford it, is that they were planning to go to india in october for a year, now thats been pushed to next spring.

ugh!

Your doctor actually told you to go on Atkins? Wouldn't that be counter productive for lowering your cholesterol?

I know, but he claims it will bring down my weight, and fix the blood related problems.
Mom doesnt believe in atkins. She sabotaged my dietecians menu when i moved back home in feb.

That makes no sense whatsoever. You don't eat fatty food when you have high cholestorol.

I'd fire my doctor.

You need low fat foods, high fiber, exercise, and maybe even some cholesterol lowering drugs perscribed.

For real. That doc sounds like a quack or the OP can't understand simple instructions.

OP, how old are you? have you tried diet/exercise at all as a means to lower your cholesterol? if that doesn't work you are a candidate for cholesterol lowering meds.

Then why don't you grow up and clean up after yourself. That kind of discipline will be needed to get healthier as well.

Cook your own food, get some exercise, drink a lot of water and green tea.

Can the OP or something else clarify just what the hell the OP needs, or is trying to do?

Ideally i wanna lose weight, get back in shape and not have mom interfere with her own 'ideologies' of how i should be fed.
