For patients with only elevated blood triglyceride levels and normal cholesterol levels, the main points of dietary treatment are different from those above. The key is to limit the amount of food eaten and to reduce body weight to achieve and maintain a body weight in the standard range. The standard weight can be calculated by the following formula:

Therefore, white sugar, brown sugar, fruit sugar, honey, as well as food and drugs containing sugar should be eaten as little as possible or not eat. Third, ban alcohol, alcohol can make the triglyceride content of such patients higher. Fourth, increase protein appropriately, especially soy protein.

When cholesterol, triglycerides, etc. exceed normal values, they are collectively called hyperlipidemia. Hyperlipidemia is the main pathogenetic factor of atherosclerosis. It often causes serious consequences by violating important organs, such as coronary heart disease, diabetes mellitus, cerebral vascular accident, intractable hypertension and nephrotic syndrome, pancreatitis, stone disease, fatty liver, etc. The occurrence and development of atherosclerosis has a close relationship with high blood fat.
