Pretty much the same, those small changes could be due to a lab variation or normal fluxuations.

The only noticable improvement is in the Trigs, as expected with LC it is lower, but they were perfect before. The one that stands out for improvement is HDL, aka the "good" cholesterol. Even conventional doctors want that higher, over 50 (1.3) for women in the US. Over 1.8 would be optimal.

HDL rises slowly with LC. In addition to quit smoking and a LC diet, Suggestions from Cholesterol Clarity to raise HDL naturally, one of the best ways is to consume more dietary fat, inc. healthy saturated fats, such as coconut Oil, butter, full-fat meats, and mono oils like olive oil. Addditionally HDL responds to regular exercise, reduced alcohol consumption, and if you are up to it, intermittent fasting of 16 hours.
