What good is it if you lose 45 pounds and gain a 200+ cholesteral level.
Atkins diet followers consistently show lower levels of bad cholesterol. Ingesting cholesterol does not increase blood serum levels of cholesterol.

That's true. THe extra cholesterol is what you, yourself, produce. The digestive system breaks down other fats and uses them for a variety of purposes. The excess starch is turned into excess sugar (instantly), and the body can turn that excess sugar into cholesterol on a same day basis!
