What to Eat to Lower Triglycerides
|
|
|
|
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.

Many clients in our practice have found one particular cookbook helpful in lowering elevated blood triglycerides:

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.

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.

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.
|
|
|
|
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 don't do this, you may slip back into your old, more comfortable and less healthy, eating habits...

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.

The amount of food you should be eating is about the size of your fist per meal.

"My Story: This Site Has Saved My Life!"

Here's a testimonial on effectiveness of our eating plan for high triglycerides:
|
February 7, 2004
This site has saved my life! I found out on Halloween 2003 that my triglicerides were at 601 and my cholesterol was at 229.
I am a 5'4" 50 year old woman and was weighing 194 lbs. at that time. My doctor immediately prescribed Lopid. I was very upset after reading on the internet the effects of these drugs.
I luckily found your website and I read through all your articles. I immediately took action on Nov 1, 2003 to get my health back. I followed all your recommendations and I never cheated for 6 weeks.
I had another lipid profile on Dec. 13, 2003 and a week later I got my results:
I lowered my triglycerides to a normal 149 and my cholesterol to a normal 192. At that point I was weighing 170 lbs.
My doctor couldn't believe that I did this without the Lopid. Even she asked me what diet I followed!
I have continued the diet and once in a blue moon I cheat by nibbling on a little pizza or having some crackers but I am sticking to it religiously.
I am now weighing 155 lbs and have dropped from a size 18 to a size 10. I will recheck my lipids again in June.
I am so happy and I look 10 years younger!

P.S. I give you permission to include my story. I am so happy with your website that I want everyone who reads it to know about my personal experience! Thank you so much.
