Help!!  I recommended a friend go on Paleo diet after it brought my
cholesterol way down.  He went on the diet and after 2 weeks he had a quick
and easy test at the chemist - this showed that his total cholesterol had
halved. He was greatly encouraged and continued on the diet for another 2
weeks. He has now had a full test and the results are really bad, in fact
just the same as before going on the diet. ie
Total cholesterol    7.69 mmol/l
LDL                      6.0
HDL                     1.1
Triglycerides          1.0
I don't know if he has been totally strict with the diet but shurely even if
he wasn't following it totally there should have been some improvement?
Thanks Howard
