Hi Teach Karen,
I had just the opposite happen! I have cardio vascular disease and had high cholesterol and triglycerides since I can remember. Losing 65lbs from last Fall when all this started had one major benefit. My levels are completely normal and I'm even off my BP meds! While I have to be prudent concerning what I eat, I've been enjoying ice cream and things like bacon and sausage since I ended treatment with no effects on my blood work.
Definitely keep an eye on that! You don;t want to beat this beast and end up with heart issues.
Positive thoughts and prayers
