Nope. Eggs can really get you going in the morning, and are nutritious.
For those with cholesterol issues, there are several excellent studies that
dispel the idea that high-cholesteral foods will lead you down the
heart-block path. Although they can contribute. Knowing your body is your
best defense against a bad diet.

Is there anything wrong with the egg substitutes that have no cholesterol
and are low in carbs?

That's what I thought.

Only the idea that dietary cholesterol as any impact on blood
levels. There's something wrong with that so unless you're
already 6+ months into your plan of choice and still having
chol issues, there's no need to avoid eggs.

On the other hand if all there is too it is you prefer the
taste, go for it.

Too high in which way, exactly? What are your ratios? Do you think that 3
months is long enough?

Do you exercise?

My cholesterol is still too high despite sticking faithfully to the Atkins
diet for three months. So I'm thinking I should eat less of the high
cholesterol foods. Are there other options?

Wait. Three months isn't very long. My blood tests have consistently
improved. Moreover, the amount of cholesterol you take in from food has
little, if anything, to do with the amount of cholesterol in your blood.

Exercise? One of the best things for cholesterol...

That, and niacin. (And, there's also completely ignoring cholesterol
results as being pure bunk, but most people are afraid to to that.)

If you smoke, quit. Also get the book, I think it's '50 ways to lower your
cholesterol' Besides the stuff in the book take Pantethine (not pantothinic
acid.) 3 months isn't very long.

What the heck does smoking have to do with cholesterol? I used to
smoke up until last week and I have always had really good cholesterol
and never had high blood pressure or any of that nasty stuff. My
numbers were and still are always been good.

Smoking has a big effect on cholesterol. When I smoked my HDL was ~35,
after quitting and before getting diabetes my HDL went up to >60.

Not as far as I know.

I do agree with the others that you will see results after 6 months instead
of 3 (I know I did)

The other suggestion I have for the cholesterol is aerobic exercise.

Good luck.

Or you can choose not to eat egg yolks.
