Im vegan and cholesterol has gone up

Hi,

im an athlete in triathlon and Ironman fields,

ive been on a vegan diet for 5 month now,

i keep a very strict diet, everything is calculated i dont eat any fat that is not from vegan diet.

almonds, tehini & avocado i think are the only things i eat with fat (but the good kind).

mostly vegetables, fruits, brown and wild rice, and pasta from rice flower.

no milk at all (no kind of milk), a bit tofu, saiten here and there and bread

but mostly whole wheat with grains.

before i started on vegan diet my cholesterol was fine:

cholesterol: 178.6 now 215.9

triglycerides: 125 now 167

cholesterol HDL: 40 now 50

cholesterol LDL:  113 now 132.2

cholesterol NON HDL: 138 now 166

 

does it make sense ?

i'd appreciate any info
