My latest levels: Chol (total) 195, HDL 56, LDL 127, Triglycerides 58

I eat approximately 18 eggs a week. Yolks and all. These levels were taken after approximately 3 months of eating "heavy" to gain some weight. So I'd had a lot of carbs, relatively speaking.

The year before (when I was really living Adam's Diet), my readings were Chol (total) 188, HDL 85, LDL 96, Triglycerides 36. Lots of eggs and bunless burgers.

I'm not very knowledgable on cholesterol. What are the health ramifications of possibly having bad cholesterol for a month or two?

You could have it checked, go on the diet for a month or so, and have it checked again. Any effects would show up pretty quickly. When Dan John did the Velocity Diet, he did a before and after blood test. The 28 day period showed dramatic improvements in his blood profile.
