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.
