My total cholesterol also went up -- but, the cause of the elevation was
totally explained by an increase in HDL cholesterol. My LDL sub-fraction
stayed absolutely the same. Do you know the sub-fraction numbers -- I have
read a lot of research on this -- and for the most part when people lower
their carb consumption and substitute them with fats, their HDL goes up and
their triglycerides and VLDL numbers take a dive. Even if your LDL went up,
usually the ratio of TC/HDL or LDL/HDL improves remarkably.
