Coconut oil might be just the thing to bail you out of your catch-22. Not AFTER you spike, of course, but add it to your diet by swapping out the carbs (or excess protein) that are causing your trouble. And it's another of those nifty things that helps with weight loss. Three tbsp. would add 350 calories to your daily diet, but I don't even measure it - I just cook everything in it & prob'ly get more than three tbsp per day by making gravy with pan drippings, etc. I'm sure you won't be sorry for trying it!

Yes, that looks bad, doesn't it? But I wasn't going to lie about it, and my doc didn't even mention it. I think he believes, as I do, that we should've left off with the statins to begin with (I took lovastatin for about a year), and allowed my lipids to drop normally with the LC/HF way-of-eating.
Since my husband eats the same things I eat, let me assure you that his triglycerides dropped from 379 to 138 in the same time frame.
Salim is correct that triglycerides usually come from carbs, not fat. We are trying to scuttle the deliberately deceitful "fat is bad" myth which has been foisted upon us for the last 50 years. Forgive me for saying this, but I'm about to the point of hoping that Ancel Keys is rotting in hell.
