Elevated triglycerides is one of the easiest problems to correct with the appropriate diet. Simple restriction of all sugars and grains.
Sugars and grains and require insulin secretion, which is a potent stimulus to the liver to produce triglycerides, and sugars and grains must be reduced if you are looking to lower your triglycerides.
High triglycerides in the blood are often seen in overweight people. But even people who are not overweight may have stores of fat in their arteries as a result of insulin resistance. These triglycerides in the blood are the direct result of carbohydrates from the diet being converted by insulin. These triglycerides do not come directly from dietary fats. They are made in the liver from any excess sugars which have not been used for energy.
The grains are rapidly metabolized to simple sugars, which studies have clearly associated with elevated triglyceride levels. The right approach is to radically reduce consumption of all simple sugars and grains. In contrast to the drug options which are traditionally applied, it is inexpensive and simple to substitute green leafy vegetables, which have a low glycemic index, for sugars and grains, and there are no toxic effects
There is an almost direct correlation between triglyceride levels and insulin levels, although more in some people than others. The way you control blood lipids is by controlling insulin. By getting the insulin levels down, you achieve a reduction in the triglycerides levels. And you get the insulin levels down through diet and exercise.
Unfortunately, most people have difficulties implementing changes to their diet and exercise regimen. Contrary to popular belief, a low fat diet is NOT the solution to lowering high triglycerides levels.

Some good answers here but also remember exercise a lot. By this I mean 80% of maximum heart rate for a minimum of 40 minutes a day. Unless you are already exercising, you may want to work up to that level to avoid harming yourself.

After 20 minutes, your muscles will start beta oxidation of fatty acids that it will pull directly from the low density lipoproteins (LDLs) that are in your bloodstream. It is the most natural way to fight cholesterol. Also, Vitamin B3 (Niacin) is used to help cholesterol ratios. You may want to used a combined approach including a statin (whether lipitor or a natural statin like red yeast rice) until you cholesterol gets out of that dangerous territory.

Red Yeast Rice and gugulipid are both natural forms of statins (Lipitor is a statin) You can get either at the health food store. Also, if you're willing to juice--drinking juice made with celery, green apples, green peppers, and cucumber is also very helpful.

Do you have a good HDL/LDL ratio?
What exercise do you do now?
Eating more fiber, taking fish oil etc can help lower cholesterol. Lipitor doesn't change the ratios, just lowers the numbers. The ratio is more important than the total.

Well, are you severly overweight? Do you exercise? Do you eat healthy? Without knowing these things, it's hard for anyone to give you advice. I get sick of hearing people say there doctors wont give them meds when they weigh 300 lbs and eat twinkies all day.
