Triglycerides

I went to the Doctor three
months ago and my triglycerides were 855, she instructed me to eat less bread,
pasta and potatoes, I eat no bread or Potatoes and very little pasta, the other
day my after three months my triglycerides were 413 I would like to lower them I
was wondering if someone could tell me if liquid egg product even the all white
liquid eggs are bad?
To reduce triglyceride level in blood, you have to reduce the total diet
content, in addition to reducing fatty food. This is because body has a
mechanism to convert remaining food material to triglycerides. Regular exercise
will also help by burning out more calories. You have to check your blood sugar
as diabetics have elevated triglycerides. Since your triglycerides are still
high (target 150), please consult your doctor once again for further advice.
Great reduction in your triglycerides! You should also limit sweets and alcohol,
as both can raise triglycerides.

It's important not to consume more calories than your body can use too. Regular
exercise and food portion control can help.

The American Heart Association recommends limiting eggs to no more than 4 per
week. All of the fat and cholesterol in an egg is contained in the yolk, not the
white part, so egg substitute that contains only whites is OK.

Fish oil has been shown to reduce triglycerides, so ask your doctor about taking
a fish oil supplement.
First off, that’s an amazing reduction. Your doctor didn’t put you on any
medication?? Those are actually REALLY high TG's to start. What you had was
hypertriglyceremia. (big word) Most physicians would have put you on a
Fenofibrate medicine (Tricor, Fenoglide, Antara etc) These meds work
specifically on triglycerides.

i have no idea about liquid egg whites, but if you've lowered it over 400 points
already in 3 months, i say eat whatever the hell you want outside of breads
potatoes and pasta... enjoy your eggs and goodluck on the last 300 points
:)
