That was my experience as well. Using the Precision Nutrition methods I went to a low carb meal plan. Basically around 100g carbs (max) on non-workout days and maybe 150-200g carbs on workout days. My total cholesterol went from 138 to 99, my LDL from 89 to 60, my HDL from 31 to 33, and my triglycerides from 80ish (don't remember now) to 32. That was all within about a 3 month time period.
Your mileage may vary
