It is not uncommon to have a high LDL when going low Carb. There is a youtube TED talk by Dr Nadir Ali which explains why. So hopefully that will help your understanding. The fact that Cholesterol and not Insulin resistence is still used as a guide for monitoring heart and vascular related issues is a huge issue for me, since it is metabolic syndrome and insulin resistance which are the better guide for such conditions.

In Singapore, 5.0 total is in the upper range of normal.
