The National Cholesterol Education Program guidelines for triglycerides are:
Normal Less than 150 mg/dL
Borderline-high 150 to 199 mg/dL
High 200 to 499 mg/dL
Very high 500 mg/dL or higher
These are based on fasting plasma triglyceride levels.

well, I did NOT fast prior to the test, and henceforth, I had a beer and actually something to eat earlier that day........
so, mine cam eback at 1067.
damn near gave me a stroke......
so, at this point I'm concerned as well as can be expected, so, I started the diet.......
BUT..............
1067 is unusually high for triglycerides, as well as the not fasting....
I have not had as much garlic in my diet as I am used to either, so at this point, the change in diet has begun!!!
SO, I need to go to the doctor, and have her check it properly.....
Any more info however is greatly appriciated!

Triglycerides = Fat
Think butter, and everything that you can make with butter. Yes, too much can kill you, but some literature suggests that ingesting some triglycerides [read: fat] can be good on a long ride. Easy for the body to convert to energy, but a little tough to digest if you eat too much...

Anything fried or sweets will increase your trig's. Diet is the key. A few years ago before I lost some weight and starting working out, mine was getting close to high(around 150 I think)... After I lost weight and started working out, it is always under 100 now. Weight is a big key.....(to lots of stuff, High blood pressure, Diebetes)
I read an article in Men's Health magazine a while back about a guy who weighed over 500 lbs, and he had body fat upwards of 40-45% or so (I can't remember exactly). The article said the guy had a higher concentration of fat in his body than is in a stick of butter!
Don't know if that's relevant here, I just thought it was funny.

Funny, in a very sick, kind-of junior high way... Makes me want to get back on my bike right now!
No kidding!!!!
