Abstract: A comprehensive plan for low-cholesterol living is presented in this step-by-step guide designed to reduce the risk of heart disease. The roles of diet, exercise, and life style in maintaining a healthy heart are described and suggestions are given for identifying and changing unhealthy behavior patterns. Sample menus that control the amount of total fat, cholesterol, sodium, and calories in the diet and dietary recommendations based on those of the American Heart Association are presented. Tips are provided for modifying recipes and food preparation methods, selecting foods at the supermarket, and handling social situations. Tasty, easy-to-prepare recipes and nutrient analysis per serving values are included for: 1) appetizers, 2) beverages, 3) soups, 4) main dishes, 5) vegetables, 6) salads, 7) sauces and dressings, 8) breads, and 9) desserts. Additional features include tables showing the types of fat, cholesterol, and sodium content of common foods. (aj).
