My LDL (bad) Cholesterol couldn't be measured last time because my Triglycerides were at 688, and the test doesn't work with them over 400.

Woah...

That's such a huge change I'd tend to distrust the first test.

Keep doing what you're doing. (but add some move variety in your diet :)

This was about the fourth test in a row that said my blood cholesterol was very high.

Great progress you are making! My Dad was diagnosed with all that when I was a kid. Of course his diet radically changed the way I ate from then on, because Mom was only going to cook one meal for everyone. Those eating habits then still linger with me today. :)

Yay!

I'm really happy about that progress. When is the next one?
