Dr William Davis has blog post today about the transient increase in LDL while still losing weight: http://www.wheatbellyblog.com/2012/...sterol-went-up/. Good explanation for Short term changes in all the cholesterol markers. The reader had the test done after three months, which Dr Phinney and Volek noted in the Art & Science of LCL, is about the time frame this effect can be at its worst. Very helpful article.

He does not address the issue of higher LDL after being VLC and weight stable for a while, which is another issue.
