A member asked:
Why would you primarily limit your carb and fat intake as treatment for hypertriglyceridemia?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Restrict carbs: Triglyceride production in the liver is especially driven by carbohydrate intake. So cut everything white (bread, potatoes, pasta, rice, flour, sugar, sweets, cakes etc). Replace with veggies, some fruit, fish, seeds, nuts, soy, etc. Dietary fat is not that bad for triglycerides, but fat has a lot of calories so don't go wild! exercise for 45 min every day.
