Hubby was told today by the Dr that he has EXTREMELY high triglycerides............. 650!
Ok so I have been looking online at diet habits/changes and such and what I don't understand is where the sugars come in. I mean isn't the "bad fat" the problem?
Can anyone help put this into terms we can understand?
Thanks for you help!

1|1|Don't know a lot but...|Quietwaters|Quietwaters39@hotmail.com|22:11:14|02/18/2011|
if I understand it right triglyceride production is stimulated by alcohol and sugar. I keep a close eye on my levels to keep them all low, but found out last year that my good cholesterol level was dropping too low, So now I eat to keep that one higher.
************
Sugar and alcohol are high in calories that will be converted to fat and stored in the body as triglycerides.

his are over the moon compared to 650 From what we have been reading it's fat from carbs that cause the problem The last few nights we have been eating recipes from a diabetic mag I have here as tha tis what my pronlem is He has been on meds for almost two weeks and has two more weeks to go before the dr will take another blood test to see if they have come down Did the dr give him a list of things he should and shouldn't eat? 4|1|Found this|teener|teenerzacsneenee@yahoo.com|22:27:26|02/18/2011|

6|1|Thank you so much ladies for putting this into terms we can understand!|pussecat|pu55ecat@aol.com|09:06:20|02/19/2011|
We were not given a food list as the Dr simply called (I'm sure we could swing by and get one though)......... he wanted Patrick to begin on Niacin last night but we never made it around to picking up the script so it'll be tonight when he starts. The Dr wants to retest Patrick in 6 months. We've already started going over our stockpile shelves and let's just say it's NOT pretty! I almost went to the flea market today to sell all of this stuff he can no longer have so we could go to the grocery store to replace it. We really don't use many processed foods but the last 2 months have been a burden on us as far a finances are concerned so we had started integrating some processed sides back into our diets in order to save money. No go with that anymore huh? The Dr also told him to start eating 5 small meals a day rather than the normal 3. To be honest Patrick is NOT good at eating even 3. There are even days on the road he'll only eat once. I've tried, for years, to explain to him that that is NOT good but you know men. They just don't listen to us. LOL Perhaps now that a Dr has told him...... he'll listen. He spends a lot of time on the road and as we all know stopping at Mcdonalds and going through the drive through is a heck of a lot easier than stopping at a Subway and actually sitting down to eat. Especially when you're on a time crunch. He has also been under a LOT of stress with his current company and I'm pretty sure that has something to do with it all too. As well as his weight gain............ he claims he's not "turning to food" but I dunno...... the facts sure seem to say something different. In any case, we're overhauling the food cabinets and the whole family is changing their eating habits. In the end I am thinking this is a good thing.... I won't lie and say I could stand to lose some weight as I know I could. But, as we all know, old habits die hard and I'm sure this will be a struggle, at least for a little while. Thank you Tina for the link..... That was great information. :)
Thanks again everyone for your input.......... I really appreciate your time! :)

Niacin will up his good cholesterol level, which then helps protect from heart attack. My doctor had me start taking 500 mg a day, and it upped my good level real quick.

fresh veggies and fruit in the cart till I got up front to pay lol lol Then I had to make sure I didn't buy to much that it would go bad before I used it I hope that once their are some sales on things I can stock up on and keep for other recipes it won't be so bad I only wish cvs or rite aid sold fish and produce I had $40 of gc's and cvs bucks to spend today lol 9|2|Oh yes I know what you mean!|pussecat|pu55ecat@aol.com|19:15:42|02/19/2011|
we went to Target to pick up the script and of course got the $10 gc.......... we spent $43 on groceries after a couple of coupons and the Gc. We got some great items but SO expensive! And it was a REAL eye opener to see all the items we picked up and had to put back down. Hubby got fixated on the amount of fat in nuts... but I told him it's the GOOD kind of fat that's why it's ok. LOL We'll have to hit walmart tomorrow for the other stuff we need....... I just can't wait to see that bill. Ugh! :)
