How Long Does It Take For Cholesterol To Bottom Out?
August 1st, I was 263 pounds and had a total cholesterol of 317. My doctor ordered meds but I told her I wanted three months. Today I just called the hospital and got my total cholesterol number from yesterdays test (I can view the breakdown online in four days).
I have lost 39 pounds (224) and my total cholesterol is 197 as of yesterday. My question is, is it likely that my cholesterol has bottomed out or is it possible that 120 point drop in 3 months is free falling and I can expect it to drop further?
The reason I ask – I know cholesterol is both diet and genetics – but I don’t know that I have a genetic predisposition to high cholesterol. My father and grandfather both had high cholesterol – but their diets were similar to mine before my change and so who knows what their numbers would have been if they ate right – you know?

First off, you do not have enough information here. Your cholesterol totals mean nothing. You need to know the ratios. Although the total seems to improved but you might have ratios that don’t add up. To know the ratios please let me know what your HDL and your LDL levels were 3 months ago and what they are now. Logically, your cholesterol improved but if your ratios are fine, your readins may remain consistant. Lower doesn’t necessarily mean better. Afterall, you do need cholesterol.
