I have started Atkins since end of Sept and until 1st of Nov, I successfully lost 5 kg. This is amazing! However.....

I have been taking medical check up annually. Below are 3 screenshots of my 3 years report on my cholesterol readings.

Again, I started Atkins end of Sept and sample of my blood/urine was taken on 17th Oct. Now the latest report shows that I have low triglyceride which is good. My urine contain ketone which proved that I undergone kitosis. My HDL remain unchanged. But my LDL was 5.26 which is very high! Now I started to worry. What have I done wrong? What should I do?

There is a Cholesterol forum right below this one. http://forum.lowcarber.org/forumdisplay.php?f=48

It has many good threads to help you understand the numbers, but in your case, go right to Dr. Davis's explanation:

Cholesterol readings when actively losing weight reflect your fat loss.

Focus on the terrific low Trigs, your HDL will go up but slowly, and when you are weight stable for a few months, re-do the test.

Also, from Cholesterol Clarity:


Believe it or not, even when you are getting healthier by losing weight, your cholesterol levels can do some really funky things. LDL and total cholesterol may go up, HDL may go down, triglycerides may go up, blood sugar and blood pressure may rise. But relax: This is all a normal part of weight loss. Once you get the weight down to where you want it to be, and keep it stable, those cholesterol numbers will magically come back under control. That’s why it’s probably not a good idea to get your cholesterol tested while you are still actively losing weight. Reach your goal weight, become weight-stable for at least a month, and then get retested.

DOCTOR’S NOTE FROM DR. ERIC WESTMAN: One of the problems with measuring cholesterol levels in the blood is that they probably don’t mean the same thing if you are losing weight. When the body is using its own fat energy storage for fuel, the blood cholesterol levels may shift dramatically and then return to their usual state when the weight loss has stopped. So if I am working with someone to lose weight, I don’t worry about repeating the blood cholesterol levels until she has achieved her weight loss goal and become weight-stable.
