Hi,

Not obese. Exercises normally. Diet is okay, but could be better (fruits veges, white meat once or twice a weak, egg once a week maybe etc)

Carbs lead to elevated triglycerides

Believe it or not, one cause of elevated triglycerides is a diet heavy on carbs.

Look up "Krauss carbohydrates" in google and you can see the studies.

Your case could of course be different, but it's something to look into.

Good luck!
