While you are actively losing body-fat -- especially early in that process -- your lipid-panels are going to be all off.

Give it a couple months, and check again. In 3 months, there should be improvement (ie: Numbers starting to move in the correct direction)

For me, my LDL came down quickly, but it took a long time for my HDL to go up.

But it will happen.

The real key (as I think other folks have mentioned) was that my triglycerides came quickly into line. This (along with my steady weight-loss) is what convinced my doctor that things were going to stabalize properly, even if they hadn't *yet*.

Give your body some time.
