So I've been lchf for over 18 months, tested my cholesterol at work today - perks of being a student ;)
Total 4.87 (should be under 5)
LDL 2.93 (the bad one, should be under 3)
HDL 1.38 (good one, should be over 1.2 for women)
Triglycerides 1.23, two hours after a high fat meal (a measure of how well your body removes fat from the blood after eating should be under 2.3 non fasting)
Ratio of total/HDL 3.5 (over 6 is high risk).
I'm not a huge believer in the dangers of cholesterol anyway, but I thought people might find this reassuring. Unfortunately I don't have previous results to compare too as I'm too young to have been tested routinely.
