Cholesterol numbers increased after Whole30

[LPJ]

Hi there.

I did my first 30 a year ago, before my annual bloodwork.  Now, 1 year later and after basically following the guidelines and eating pizza now and then I am doing another 30.  Last year my cholesterol was 186.  I had my annual bloodwork again and my cholesterol is 213 this year.  The doctor says nothing to worry about as the ratios are all good.

I always ate a lot of chicken and balanced out with red meats and pork.  I did not, however, eat that many eggs before in my life.  That is the only thing that has really changed.  That, and the fact that I do not eat grains like I used to (granola, granola bars, oats) and beans like I used to.

 

Any tips or ideas?
