It often goes up at first, then back down. It's not clear from your post just what the timeline for all this was. Have you been low carbing steadily for 7 months? When did you have the cholesterol test?

I have been low carbing steadily for 7 months, maybe 6 months. My previous blood test was done a year ago.
