I've been doing Atkins since 8/19. So far I've lost more than 65 pounds. A few days ago, I had a blood test done at a company health screening and would like to know what everyone thinks.

Suggested/normal ranges:

Total Cholesterol: <200 optimal, >240 is high risk
HDL Cholesterol: 40-60 (higher is better)
Total/LDL ratio: <4.0 desirable
Triglycerides: <150 desirable, >199 high risk
LDL Cholesterol: <100 desirable, >129 high risk

(desirable is their word, not mine)

Results:
Total Cholesterol: 255 (high)
HDL Cholesterol: 41 (low end of good)
Total/LDL ratio: 6.2 (not desirable)
Triglycerides: 64 (Wow, really on the low end)
LDL Cholesterol: 201 (high, really high)

So what say you ALCF'ers? Should I worry about the LDL? Using the search function I find some say yes, some say no. Some say it's not a problem if your triglycerides level is low and mine is really, really low.
