Does anyone know of a good diet for lowering cholesterol, triglycerides?

Low fat diet: Focus on a low fat diet. Avoid saturated and transfat. Avoid food choices where greater than 30% of the calories are from fat. High fiber is helpful. The mediterranean is highly regarded.

Yes: Long term diet changes to that assist in decreasing cholesterol and triglyceride include: limiting saturated fat and trans fats; increasing intake of omega-3 fatty acids (fish oil); limiting intake of carbohydrates that worsen Insulin resistance (highly refined carbs, sugars, high fructose corn syrup, high glycemic index/load carbs); increase vegetables and whole fruits (not juice); limit alcohol.
