My cholesterol was through the roof and the cause was mainly genetic so even if I cut all fat out of my diet I would still likely have a problem
So I am on Lipitor which took my levels down to acceptable and that's how I manage it. I will be on them for my whole life probably.

I feel for you mate. For me, I just accepted the genetics and decided a daily tablet was better than a heart attack. My dad is on Lipitor too. It's just how our bodies are wired.
I maintain a pretty good diet and don't eat much fast food or sugar.

Foods To Avoid for high triglycerides
Diet for high triglycerides
-Consume less food rich in saturated fats. Avoid coconut oil, palm oil, palm kernel oil, food made with margarines, coffee whiteners and nondairy creamers made with these oils, butter, cream, sour cream, whole milk, cheeses made from whole milk, etc.
-Use unsaturated, polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fatsin moderation. Moderately use foods made in canola oil, safflower oil, soybean oil, sunflower oil, olive oil, peanut oil, margarines, mayonnaise, etc.
-Reduce intake of sugar, brown sugar, powdered sugar, jam, jelly, preserves, honey, syrup, molasses, pies, candy, cakes, cookies, pastries, colas, fruit drinks, soft drinks and punches. Sugar in our food goes rapidly to your blood. When there is excess sugar in blood, the liver uses it to make more triglyceride. Use complex carbohydrates like whole breads, rice, potatoes and cereals.
-Increase dietary fiber intake like brown rice, whole grains, lentils/legumes, beans, vegetables and fruits.
