The dietitians at The Jewish Hospital Cholesterol
Center have compiled this booklet to help you follow a low fat, low cholesterol
diet. It includes helpful information, label-reading guidelines, ingredient
substitutions, and tips on dining out.
The dietary guidelines are intended for adults,
adolescents and children over the age of two. They are healthy for people with
high, as well as normal, cholesterol levels.
If you have heart disease and/or risk factors in
addition to high cholesterol, you will benefit from a more detailed instruction
given by a registered dietitian. This booklet will, however, help you get
started.
