Triglycerides

My family members with triglyceride issues had to pretty much give up drinking to get the numbers to come down.2

Exercise. Shorter, high intensity does the trick for most. There's also a period beyond, say, 40 minutes of continued steady effort (Zone 2 Training) that has a significant effect as well.
He is right. I left this out. Lower your carbs and do some working out. Even brisk walking will help. If you are overweight try to get to a healthy weight as well, but stick to your carb macros.1 -
Years ago I went on Atkins and my blood work improved after a loss of 45 lbs.
Fast forward many years later and my blood work improved when I went vegan and lost 50ish lbs.
So for me just losing weight helped because those diets are completely different.

Good list! I'm not sure what is meant by a "moderately low-fat diet" however. Avocado, olive oil, pasture-raised meats and dairy, and salmon will improve your overall cholesterol and won't raise triglycerides....

I has more to do with carbs not fat intake. I would get your macros set to something like 40% carbs, 30, 30. No reason to avoid red meats, but I would avoid poly unsaturated fats like vegetable oil and sugary stuff.
True. I should have carried this out. When one eats higher fat they tend to eat lower carb as a natural thing (although not *always* - it just seems people tend that way naturally when eating higher fat). To keep my triglycerides and overall lipids in check I follow a 40C, 40F, 20P macro split and that seems to work well. When I get more carbs then that my lipids tend to whack out more.0 -
It's helpful to know WHY the triglycerides are high to begin with. Elevated triglycerides are often (usually?) not the primary problem--they are the result of something else out of whack or part of a larger genetic dyslipidemia. So all of the suggested interventions could be helpful or some of them, or none of them--it depends.1

My triglycerides were at 217 and my fasting glucose was 107. For me what worked was eating low carb and losing about 10% of my body weight. I can't guarantee if it was the weight loss or the low carbs that did the trick, but when I had blood work done a year later, my triglycerides were 52 and my fasting glucose was 80. I regained the weight at one point (and have since lost it again) but I've stayed lower carb and my triglycerides and blood glucose have both stayed lower, too.1

I'm assuming that since they gave you a prescription that this has been an issue at multiple visits? Because if you are not completely fasted (as per the lab's guidelines) you can have spuriously high triglycerides.0
