Cholesterol numbers are bad after starting the diet.

39M, Canada, 315 lbs, 6ft2, Celexa 20mg, no smoking or alcohol.

So for the past 10+ years, I’ve been very overweight. No major health concerns, but I was getting high blood pressure, which is now better. Jan 1st, I decided to make some changes and start a diet. Went from a 4000 cal/day diet of fast food, pizza, donuts, etc., to a 2000 cal/day diet of not the best food but always home-cooked food like chicken sandwiches, yogurt, eggs, toast, etc. I have lost 20 lbs.

But the weirdest thing is my lipid panel has gotten worse, especially my HDL of 0.93, which should be 1.0+. So too low. Seems like my lipid numbers were best 5 days into my diet, then got worse the longer I was dieting.

So just looking for any advice I can get on why this may be happening.

Thank you.
