I am currently in the same situation.  Weight Loss is coming along, total cholesterol is down, LDL is down, unfortunately triglycerides are up, and HDL is down.  Glucose was down too.  I have psoriasis & I'm pretty sure that I have a gluten sensitivity - when I restrict the gluten, psoriasis improves.  I had some blood testing done for possible celiac disease a couple of years ago, it came back negative, but I have recently learned that you need to be consuming gluten at the time of the test (I may not have been), the test is very iffy, and that a gluten sensitivity is possible without actually having celiac disease.  My nutritional education is a continual work in progress.   I must take all of this into consideration when making food choices.  Anyway, I have been doing some research re the mixed lipid results.  It appears that I may have cut fat too much, and that I specifically need to increase the monounsaturated fats in my diet (peanut butter & olive oil for example).  I would appreciate any additional info on this matter.   Thank you!
