"Weight loss can cause your LDL cholesterol levels to go up temporarily, which can in turn cause your total cholesterol value to go up. HDL cholesterol levels tend to go down as the release of fatty acids in your blood causes an increase in LDL cholesterol and triglycerides, another type of blood lipid implicated in blood disease. The sudden influx of fatty acids into your bloodstream can temporarily cause other problems like insulin resistance, high blood sugar, and high blood pressure, too.
If you’re in the process of losing weight and your blood cholesterol levels are going up in spite of your weight loss, don’t panic. It’s completely normal for blood cholesterol levels to go up temporarily as your body burns some of the stored fat it’s carrying for fuel. You won’t be able to get accurate blood cholesterol readings until your weight has stabilized for at least four weeks, and your blood cholesterol levels have had a chance to normalize."
