Although I did lose 10 lbs to reach a
perfect BMI, the combination of the diet plus stopping the medication gave the following jump in my current lipids
test (3 months later): (all in mg / dl)
Cholesterol: from 174 to 268 Triglyceride: from 45 to 63 HDL: from 63 to 61 LDL: from 102 to 194 non-HDL: from 111 to 207
