BLOOD TEST RESULTS
After nearly 8 months of doing Atkins induction, I was kind of worried about kidney stones, liver failure, high cholesterol, you know- all the things that people say is so awful about Atkins. I got my blood taken on 9/13/05 and I just got the results back from my doctor. They speak for themselves :)
