According to one book I'm currently reading, it is possible that your HDL will go up and your triglycerides will go down, while BOTH your total cholesterol and your LDL go up. This is because an increase in HDL can raise your total cholesterol, and LDL is almost always calculated, using a formula in which LDL = Total Cholesterol - HDL - (Triglycerides/5).
