HDL going down, not up
Hooray. I just went in for my 5 week check-in with my doctor and here are my numbers:
pounds lost: 12
inches lost:--lots
uric acid--normal
glucose--normal
electrolytes & liver function tests--normal
I'm very pleased overall (results below) but I"m puzzled as to why my HDL might have actually gone down 10 points. I was hoping HDL would either stay the same or go up.
Anybody else have this happen? I use TONS of olive oil, so I'm not sure what else to do to raise my HDL. Suggestions?
Lipid Category---Baseline----5 weeks
HDL----------------52-----------42
LDL---------------166----------140
VLDL---------------20----------10
Triglycerides-------101----------51
Total Chol.---------238---------192
TC/HDL ratio-------4.6----------4.5
