Harjit,

Thks for your kind words.

In my experience, the numbers have gone down over the 8.5 yrs. This yr I did see a drop in both LDL and HDL of about 12 points (HDL) and 25 (LDL). According to many MDs (read Dr Esseslstns passage in his book), HDL will come down and it is not a issue since your body doesn't need it if you are following the program over the long haul.

Honestly, in less there is a medical reason why you have to be tested frequently for cholesterol, I would do once a year. You are at a good place as your total cholesterol is below 150 which is the magic number.

Keep up the great effort. It gets so easy and on a part of life that is very satisfying.

Best,
herman
