- Keep saturated fat strictly below 7% of daily caloric intake
- Zero industrial trans-fatty acids
- Incorporate high soluble fiber to bind bile acids and lower serum LDL
Food Guidelines
Recommended
- Skinless chicken breast and turkey
- White fish (cod, haddock, tilapia)
- Legumes (lentils, chickpeas)
- Oats and whole grains
- Steamed vegetables and fresh fruit
- Egg whites
Limit
- Olive oil (strictly measured 1 tsp portions)
- Nuts and seeds (micro-portioned)
- Lean pork tenderloin
Avoid
- Fried, battered, and deep-fried foods
- Butter, lard, and heavy creams
