Some people go on low-calorie, low-cholesterol diets to lose weight and reduce the amount of cholesterol in their blood. When a person loses weight, this causes fat cells to decrease in size. Fat cells contain cholesterol, and as they decrease in size, they release that cholesterol into the bloodstream.

Therefore, a person on a low-calorie and low-cholesterol diet may as a result have more cholesterol in their blood.
