9-Starch: Concentrated starchy foods -- Bagels, pasta, rice, potatoes, large rolls, pizza, pretzels, popcorn, chips, many fat-free foods and ready-to-eat cereals. Choose small portions of these due to their high carbohydrate density. Use whole grains and legumes (starchy beans) in preference to refined starches.
You also may need medicine to help lower your triglycerides, but your doctor likely will ask you to try diet and lifestyle changes first.
