Welcome back, Chris,

There is "new" information about cholesterol being an "energy system" where LDL numbers can be influenced by fat in your diet in the short-term. Net down, eat more fat and don’t fast more than the recommended time before the blood draw. (Opposite of what many think may improve their numbers)

Dave Feldman is the engineer behind this idea http://cholesterolcode.com. Details on the first page of his website, may enjoy his interview with Zdogg. http://cholesterolcode.com/jammin-w...incidentreport/

There are a few threads about this on the first page of the Cholesterol/Heart sub-forum. Also if you are actively losing weight, your blood lipids can be messed up from that...fat has to go somewhere so released into blood stream. Consider getting a CAC if worried about heart disease. http://forum.lowcarber.org/forumdisplay.php?f=48
