The Effects of Rapid Weight Loss on Cholesterol

Cholesterol is a type of fat known as a lipid. The "bad" cholesterol is low-density lipoprotein (LDL), and having too much of this type of fat can lead to high cholesterol and high risk of diseases linked to obesity and clogged arteries. High-density lipoprotein (HDL) is known as the good cholesterol, because it helps the heart by carrying bad cholesterol to the liver, where it can be processed and eliminated. Rapid weight loss can affect cholesterol levels by decreasing triglycerides and increasing LDLs.
