How rapidly can one's total cholesterol change?
I recently had blood work done, and had a higher total cholesterol number than I had expected.
I had not been eating very virtuously the previous several days; too much sausage, fatty foods, etc.
My general eating habits include quite a bit of pork, fish, chicken, but not that much red meat, so this was a sudden change.
How rapidly does dietary change for a relatively short period of time affect the total cholesterol number?
Overall, the results were pretty good, I thought, except for the higher total number.
Total 234
HDL 67
TC/HDL ratio 35
LDL 150
TriG 86
I'm 51, non-smoker, 5' 10" 145, size 31 waist.
