I gave blood last week and got the cholesterol result today. They only do a total cholesterol, which was 113. I have been following the BFL diet and exercise program for 7 weeks now. The last time I had my cholesterol tested while following Schwarzbein it was 129. I think this is too low but I am confused as to what to do. I read that low cholesterol is linked to depression (which I have) and cancer (which I really don't want). I was joking with dh that I need to do the opposite of the usual advice to lower cholesterol, in which case I should:

1. eat unhealthy, high-fat foods
2. become more sedentary
3. take up smoking

But seriously, do I need to increase the saturated fats? Not sure what else to do... I have been very tired lately, don't know if that is related or if it's just due to dd waking up more at night.
