High Triglycerides

You indicated that you have either history with or concerns about high triglyceride levels. Research has shown that high triglycerides may be a sign of insulin resistance and risk of diabetes. Research has shown that several nutritional factors may be helpful for people with insulin resistance or risk of diabetes. These include magnesium and foods rich in omega-3 fatty acids. Lower glycemic index foods have also been shown to be helpful. Because of this, we have included foods rich in magnesium and omega-3 fatty acids in your meal plan. We have also used several low glycemic index foods like beans.
