Hi. Yikes, I would not recommend taking statins. Like Janet suggested, have a gander at this sticky thread, and then try plugging your numbers into the calculator linked in post #4.
Long story short, LDL is not routinely measured. It's calculated using a formula that is simply wrong when you have low triglycerides (which is good, and typical of all of us following a LC WOE.) Being in the process of losing weight also seems to screw things up. I'd wait until I was maintaining (whether at your ultimate goal or not) to put much into a lipid profile. And even now, I take it with a grain of salt.
