doddr,
Did you begin taking statins at some point in the chronology? Statins will begin calcifying ones cholesterol, affecting the CAC score, but once most of the calcification is complete, perhaps the rate of increase slows?
Not trying to throw a wet blanket on your theory, but there are other factors, likely.
Did you post your lipid panel, and advanced lipid panel results?

I have been on ststins for about 30 years. Currently on Rosuvastatin 20mg. My total cholestrol is 124, LDL 68, AND HDL 42. My cholesterol also dropped significantly once I went on the modified Esselstyn diet. I also lost 10 lbs without intending to do so, but am pleased with the outcome. I avoid all meat except some seafood, sugars, plant oils except olive oil.
