I just recently had a cholesterol panel done and while my total cholesterol dropped, my triglycerides rose. What might have caused this?

I decreased the amount of fatty foods I ate during the time between the two tests, started exercising, ate more vegetables. I'm wondering why my triglycerides are continuing to climb while my total cholesterol is dropping.

Diet is certainly a major factor here. The kind of fat is often as important as the amount. Fish oil (Max EPA, etc) will sometimes help lower triglycerides.

Well, I am not critisizing your choice, but it really can be dangerous to cut out all meats if you are not 100% balanced. I would ask a dietician in your area to go over your average menus and they can help you take it from there. I give you credit I could never cut meat out of my diet and all that jazz, I respect my incisors to much to not eat meat. LOL Just kidding. Good luck, I hope all is well for you

I assume a doctor did not give you the results?

Ask your doctor for medical advice.
