Today's test: total 281, triglycerides 60, HDL 58, LDL 211.
Triglycerides are still pretty low, and trigl/HDL ratio is still fine at 1.034.
The Doc thinks I need a statin drug. I've told him I want to have another test in six months and we'll see then. I really don't think a drug is necessary based on other things Alan's said before, but the sudden 101 point rise has the doc concerned.
Alan, Jamie, others -- any suggestions? Do you think eating less cholesterol might help? Thanks!!

I actually want to hear what Aaron has to say about this - the guy is a focking tomb of knowledge when it comes to clinical stuff.
In any case, the 1st Q that I have is whether or not you increased or decreased your total kcals when you began this diet.
