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.
