Mine went from 190 pre paleo to 270. But that high number was more
Atkins-like than paleo. I was eating LOTS of cream. I should get it
checked again, since I am eating closer to paleo now.

I ran my numbers through an on-line heart health check, and it came out
'low risk' even with my high LDL numbers, over 200, because my
triglycerides were very low, 40-something, below the chart actually,
blood pressure was also very low, 105/60 is average, and HDL was high.
