Got my lipid numbers. Should I care ?

I just got my lipid numbers. I am on LC-kind of diet for 6 weeks now (lost 14 lbs from 214 to 210 so far). My current numbers are

Total 7.3 - 282
HDL 1.64 - 63
LDL 5.4 - 208
Trig. 0.6 - 53

So total/LDL is pretty high, but LDL/HDL (3.3) is not that bad, HDL and trigs seem to be very good (am I right ?).

My total was 6.7 - 258 one year ago (but I do not know HDL/LDL numbers).

Everybody told me to expect slight increase at this time (it is 9% actually), so I hope that LDL should go down as I will get closer to mu target (~190lb). There is no CHD disease in my family, I am not smoking, spending 1 hour a day walking, only other risk factor I am aware of is that I am overweight (current BMI 27.2) - and I hope to solve this one in forthcoming months.

Any comments or suggestions ?

BTW, I hope that I have recalculated mmol->mg numbers right - I used
38.67 ratio for HDL/LDL/Total and 88.57 for trigs.

I think chol/hdl ratio is not my problem right now (4.4 is fine AFAIK).

I just hope that my LDL goes down. So far my profiles changed according to what I was 'promised', so right now I hope that another promise (that
LDL should drop after several months and further BMI reduction) will be true too.

Anyway, I think that switching diet to low-fat would not be a good idea right now. I will stick with current plan for several more months and will see what happens.

As for my diet 'plan', it is not exactly Atkins or something specific, I just canceled any sugar, starch, potatoes, simply everything with GI >
45. I think that I do not eat much more fat than before, I just substituted this hi-GI stuff with vegetables.

Well, I have read many times that _any_ dietary change causes LDL elevation in short term.

Your numbers are pretty good, but I'd wait until your weight stabilizes. To improve your total chol/hdl ratio olive oil may help.
See http://www.hsph.harvard.edu/nutritionsource/fats.html Finally, don't forget to exercise!

Yes, your ratio is okay at 4.4 - but the lower the ratio, the lower your risk of heart disease. Cutting out high GI foods is smart.
Oatmeal may lower LDL, but you'd have to eat 2 servings a day, I believe (check the Quaker Oatmeal site). Saturated fats (red meats, butter, etc) and trans-fats (baked goods, fried foods, hard margarine)
both raise LDL - so reduce them. Nuts and whole grains are heart-healthy, according to Harvard research. Finally, be sure to get at least two servings of fatty fish (salmon, herring, etc) weekly.
