And I dont know if this is bad. This was done on 8/16/2004. I dont excercise and eat bad.

Trig=292
HDL=41
VLDL=58
LDL=72

doctor didnt say anything about it. I know i need to lose weight and change my eating habits but it's so hard. Any insight greatly appreciated.

I am a 27 Yr Old Male btw. Also this was done w/o fasting.

Your numbers look pretty good except for the trigs. You should cut that in half by eating less carbs.

I agree with Jacqueline and have an additional recommendation.
Take two 500mg capsules or 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon daily.
Cinnamon lowers triglycerides and controls blood sugar too.
Simple carbs, especially sugar, are the major cause of high triglycerides.

Numbers are GREAT, ozzeran.
With a proper fast, they'd be even better with lower triglycerides>>>lower VLDL and thus a lower total than your 171.

HDL COULD be a bit higher though...but hard to achieve.

Well thats good news then. Question, will jogging remove Trigs? I'm gonna try changing my diet but would rather enjoy some foods and jog daily or atleast 4 days a week.
