not that odd, exercise helps too.
you're total dropped 60 points? if so, that may not be such a good thing (assuming the lipid hypothesis isn't bunk, which it is...). you probably lost HDL as well as LDL. HDL is the good stuff. Study after study after study have shown that a low carb diet raises HDL and slightly lowers LDL.
btw, LC also dramatically and almost immediately lowers your triglycerides. which is also good.
this isn't myth, it's science.
