??? About Low Carb/High Fat

My DH was diagnosed about a month ago, and ever since has been on a very low carb (less than 40 grams a day) diet. His BG #'s have been great. AM average is around 90, and 2 hr post meals around 85. He started out eating mainly grilled chicken & fish, but lately has been bored with that so he is adding in more of what I wonder is too high in fat & cholesterol. He's been eating more cheese, eggs, bacon, and red meat. I have the Adkins book, and it claims that eating these foods in the absence of carbs, will actually lower cholesterol levels. But still I wonder..... His triglycerides were something like 421 a month ago. The dr wants to do a lipid panel again at the end of Jan. I don't want him to have #'s even higher! Is it OK to be eating all these fatty foods?
