Lowering triglycerides doesn't require a highly specialized diet, and exercises is just as important or more so. The approach to lowering triglycerides is identical to the approach used to lower cholesterol, so look for recipes that are designed to lower cholesterol - there's all sorts of info you can find. In a nutshell, there's really only two main parts to a diet to lower triglycerides: (1) avoid saturated fats - a moderate amount of unsaturated fats are fine, and those with HDL cholesterol are even better; (2) avoid excess calories from sugars and carbohydrate, which translates into elimination of sugary snacks and drinks between meals; a small amount is OK when eaten along with a meal.

Avoiding fried foods is a good rule of thumb..You can also look at the American Heart Association website for further suggestions. Good Luck!
