Triglycerides are a common type of fat that accounts for about 95 per cent of all dietary fats. Both animal and vegetable fats contain triglycerides. Once digested, triglycerides circulate in the bloodstream to be used as energy by the cells. Any leftovers are stored in body fat to fuel the body between meals. High triglycerides are a type of fat in the blood that can increase the risk of heart disease and other health conditions.
Triglycerides are lowered when one adapts to and maintains a well-formulated ketogenic diet. For people starting out with elevated triglycerides, they almost always show a sharp and sustained reduction on Keto. On average, people with metabolic syndrome will see their serum triglycerides reduced by half when on a ketogenic diet (Volek, 2009).
