If they gave you just one number, that would have been the total, which is useless. The good cholesterol can surge while the bad goes down; the total may seem high, but the key to know how much of it is bad.

It is also possible for the bad cholesterol to go up in the beginning of a LCHF diet (first 3 months or so; good cholesterol goes up too, so total rises), but that is because your body is trying to get rid of the bad stuff, and it is transported in the blood before it can be destroyed.
