High Triglycerides: What to Eat?
|
|
|
|
Following any dietary recommendations is a challenge. First of all, you most certainly will not have the time to:
- go to a library or a bookstore and pick up a few cookbooks, so you could start the program, or
- compile the recipes (if any) to implement the food recommendations.
Therefore, as a result, you might not be able to successfully carry out necessary changes in your diet.

The Healthier Alternative to Standard Low-Carb Diets
|
|
|
|
As you may know, the mainstream medical community has just recently started to come around to the fact that low-carb diets do work and are safe. The Low-Grain, Low-Sugar Delight definitely falls into this category.
As a great alternative to standard low-carb diets, it offers you many benefits. First of all, it can help you
- increase 15-20% your HDL (good cholesterol) along with
- a significant 50-60% drop in your triglycerides.
In addition to these significant improvements in your blood profile, The Low-Grain, Low-Sugar Delight can help you
- loose unnecessary weight - up to 30 pounds(!) - depending on your commitment.
The Low-Grain, Low-Sugar Cookbook also overcomes another culprit of typical low-carb diets which is a low consumption of vegetables which may cause shortages of important vitamins and minerals. We promote “the greener, the better” philosophy of eating.

High Triglycerides: Our Standpoint on Fat Intake
|
|
|
|
What sets our cookbook apart from the standard low-carb diets is that it promotes moderate consumption of fat, with a complete elimination of the "bad" trans fat.
Without any doubt fat is a macronutrient necessary for optimum health. Blind dietary fat reduction can be harmfull to your body. And most importantly, resorting to a low-fat diet has no significant bearing on the overall cardiovascular health.
The key lies in selecting the right source of fat, followed by the proper preparation.
Those who are vegetarians will not have much difficulty as fat in its natural state is found in abundance in seeds and nuts.
Those who cannot do without meat face a more challenging task. The reason is because during the commercialization process, the chemical structure of the macronutrients within the meat is altered significantly.
However, it is impractical to eat only the "good " and avoid all the "bad" fat, since most food comes with a combination of both. Balance is the key.
Therefore, The Low-Grain, Low-Sugar Delight favors
- mono-unsaturated fats - found in olive oil, seeds, nuts, and cold-water fish, and, to certain extend
- saturated fats - derived both from plants (like coconut oil) and from animals, preferably free-range.
Mono-unsaturated fats are relatively neutral with a small tendency to raise HDL-"good" cholesterol and lower LDL-"bad" cholesterol.
In our cookbook there're absolutely no:
- "bad" fats - found in processed poly-unsaturated oils, such as corn oil, safflower oil, sunflower oil, or canola oil, and of course
- trans fats, the worse kind of fat - found in margarine, shortenings and fried foods, and known to increase blood levels of triglycerides.
However, we include lean red meats as they can be low in fat -- only if properly selected, trimmed, and cooked - without frying in processed oils (exposing oils to heat and oxygen results in the worse possible combination of unhealthy fatty acids).
Mind you, even white meat poultry and fish, which often are low-fat choices, can be prepared -- such as deep frying -- so they are higher in fat than beef.
Once again, what you buy either at the supermarket or at the health food store, and how you cook the food makes the difference.

Everyone Is Different
|
|
|
|
However, everyone is different. Your environment, body chemistry, and psychology are unique. So it may take time to find out what exactly will work for you.
Dietary changes are usually about lifestyle changes - new ways to think about food, exercise and relationships.
In order not to get bored because of the limited (still) choices of foods, you need to try to design your meals and eat regularly - do not eat by accident. And experiment by trying new recipes.
|
|
Make A Menu
|
|
|
|
Most likely, you will have difficulty implementing the dietary suggestions - unless you sit down once a week to prepare a menu. This will allow you to
- purchase the items you need and
- have them on hand for preparing your meals.
If you do not do this, you may slip back into your old, more comfortable and less healthy, eating habits...

You Can Do It
|
|
|
|
Although this cookbook does not give you specific menu combinations, it is quite easy - with its help - to create your own menus, as it allows for variety.
So, what you need to do first, is to find at least fifteen (15) recipes you like. It should not be that difficult to do - actually, that's all most families use.
Then, do your best to have a variety. Variety is the key here! If you are going to rotate between two or three meals you will simply burn out.
You will see that eating right to be independently healthy is possible. It may seem overwhelming at first and, at times, will feel impossible - but you can do it.

Testimonial: My Success with Cookbook
|
|
|
|
Here's a testimonial on effectiveness of our eating plan for high triglycerides:
|
Friday, April 8, 2005
I just want to put in my 2 cents :
1. Last year, my triglycerides were between 400 and 600 even with medication, such as 20mg lipitor and 10 mg of crestor. My blood test also showed tendency towards diabetes (I have insulin resistance all my life).
2. This year, I decided to follow closely the recipes of the low-grain, low-sugar cookbook, as well as being on metformin for blood sugar control, and 10 mg of crestor and 1000 mg of niaspan (prescription time-released niacin). I exercise regularly (aerobics and table tennis). I am not a couch potato.
The last blood test in 3/05 showed that my triglycerides dropped from 500 [mg/dL] on November 2004 to 176 [mg/dL].
For years my triglycerides have stayed between 400 and 800 despite medication. My cholesterol was also lowered by 20 points to 120 [mg/dL].
Now, I cut out wheat, wheat products and rice. Occasionally. I'll eat them but I feed mostly on yams and squash and nut bread from the cookbook, as well as on veggies.
I lost 10 lbs. since started cooking from the cookbook. Diabetes tendency has been reversed as measured on the blood test.
So, I believe the diet is very, very important in controlling triglycerides. Doctors don’t tell me what exactly to eat.
But I am glad there is a website and a cookbook that tell us how to eat right.
Thanks!
Mary
