Low Choresterol Diet
In Order to maintain a Healthy Heart one needs to follow the following diet.

Avoid Saturated Fats
- replace with polyunsaturated or monounsaturated fats. Saturated Fats - meat, poultry, whole milk dairy products, coconut oil, palm oil and cocoa butter.
Polyunsaturated Fats - sunflower oil, safflower oil, corn oil, vegetable oil and soybean oil.

Monounsaturated Fats - olive oil, canola (grapeseed) oil.

Avoid Hydrogenated Oils -
more solid and saturated than regular vegetable oils.

Limit eggs yolks to 2-3 per week. Two egg whites can be used in baking. Choose as many meats from the Lean Meat column as possible. Remove skin and trim visible fat off meat. Bake, broil, roast or grill instead of frying and set meats on a rack when cooking to allow fat to drip off meat.

Limit liver to one 3 oz. serving per month as it is high in cholesterol but a good source of iron. Choose skim milk and nonfat dairy products. Total milligrams of cholesterol in sample meal plan is 185 mg and 30 % of calories are from fat.

Limit salt intake for sodium restricted diets.
