On 1/15:
Total = 246
HDL = 71
LDL = 164
Tri = 55
On 3/18
Total = 333 (+35%)
HDL = 80 (+12%)
LDL = 231 (+41%)
Tri = 109 (+98%)
Those kinds of changes don't make sense to me in the span of two months. Especially since I've been on a cutting diet, with cardio at least an hour 6 days/wk, low carb and low sat. fat.
I think the test is off (maybe I didn't fast properly, or something else external was going on), but those numbers shouldn't have spiked that much in 2 months with no negative lifestyle changes. Re-testing tomorrow to verify which of those two "snapshot" tests was more accurate.
