Low Carb and Omega-3: Triglyceride is the reserve form of fat and in high level increases risk of heart disease, pancreatitis, etc. The best way to reduce it is by lowering processed starch, sugar as well as saturated, animal based fat. Taking high quality omega-3 fatty acids (fish oil, flax seed oil, krill oil) is also a must to reduce your triglyceride levels.

Here are some tips:: If you drink alcohol, cut down or stop. Watch your intake of junk foods, and concentrate on a protein and fiber-rich diet with plenty of vegetables and fresh fruits. Keep your diet low in saturated fats as well. Ask your doctor about medications that reduce triglycerides, and remember that you should be fasting (no food for 8-12 hrs) to get an accurate triglyceride reading. Good luck. Lgromkomd.
