Did you have the total cholesterol test done ( HDL, LDL, triglycerides?) I think it was in PP that they talk about how total cholesterol might go up some in the beginning, but that the triglycerides (a major player in heart disease) would drop dramatically. Supposedly, the total cholesterol number by itself is pretty meaningless - it is the HDL/LDL and the HDL/triglyceride ratios that are most important. I am going for my cholesterol tests again on Saturday. I had it taken just before I started eating low carb, this one will be at 8 weeks into the plan. I sure hope the ratios show some improvement.
