I had my routine check up yesterday and was excited that my weight is down over 15 pounds since my last check up in June. Unfortunately, my LDL cholesterol is up over 20 points and my HDL is down since then. I was so disappointed in those numbers...I really thought losing the weight would improve the cholesterol numbers, not make them worse!!

I've been eating 3 eggs a day, 3 tablespoons of fat (like mayo or olive oil) and beef, pork, etc. since I started the low carb approach about 2 weeks ago. Any chance that is contributing to the rise in cholesterol?
