Don’t worry man. It is very easy to control. I had 560 at one point of time but I didn’t take medication even though my doctor presecribed. I reduced my carb intake to 1000 cal per day and maintained healthy diet for a month. I know it is not good for health  in the long term with 1000 cal. After a month it got reduced to 200. Usually I eat very less around 1800 calories per day but due genetic reasons my body cannot utilize fat properly.now I am eating as normal but doing workouts 4 times a week. Seems like I can never reach 150 without medication due to genetics. But I would worry if it exceeds 500.

Bro, what is the diet you followed

Don’t worry too much . You can get back to control . Start reducing carbs and start working out as first step . Good luck !

triglycerides can easily be controlled by 2 things

1. reduce high glycemic index foods (brown rice/roti/oats)

2. add good fat (avoid vegetable, soya,canola, rapeseed oil), swtich to coconut oil, avocado oil on rotational basis

3. eat avocado as breakfast for few months

4. stop eating biryani second time (throw leftover or dont cook too much)

medicine is not needed at all, do the above and get it down to less than 80/100 in 2 months

saturated fat tho confused avutunnavu

ghee is saturated fat and it actually helps to reduce bad cholesterol, you need to find correct spot where its helps you, 1 -2 spoons a day is good to start

Ma Bavagari ki kuda couple of years back 650 something undindi he is so lean actually . His sister had very high levels too during pregnancy. Cut totally on carbs and make life style changes . Workout daily at least start with walking . 2-3 months lo you will see significant changes . I think this may be hereditary.  
 

Are you vegetarian by any chance ? 

Are you confirming if he is your bava JK

I know someone close who went through hypertriglyceridemia and here is some info that might help you

Hypertriglyceridemia is caused by mainly due to extra calories you consume (especially carbs)
Cut down the simple carbs like rice significantly. Treat sugar as poison, DON'T consume anything with added sugar. Sodas are the worst.
Control your portions. Instead of eating big meals, go for smaller ones.
Fish oil really helps.
Oats and oats bran helps too, but don't eat too much, they are also carbs.
Stay away from processed foods.
Exercise.

Try these for a month without taking medicine, and recheck. Your numbers should reduce significantly. You may take medicine if they still stay high.
