TLC Diet: Manage Cholesterol Counts & Blood Pressure Levels!
()
About this ebook
The Therapeutic Lifestyle Changes diet (TLC) was voted one of the two best heart-healthy diets in the world by U.S. News and World Report. TLC didn’t receive this distinguished recognition for the pounds lost by its participants…it was more recognized for the amount of improvement in LDL cholesterol levels (the “bad” one). This book is full of recipes that will help you lower your levels, too.
One of the goals of the TLC diet is to manage the amount of saturated fat and cholesterol intake. To help with that, we’ve included these two nutritional values for each recipe. We’ve also selected a wide variety of foods for this book so that your changeover to a healthier diet doesn’t become boring and mundane. You’ll find recipes that cover everything from appetizers to desserts - all designed to help you eat “for your heart” and not just for weight management. At the end of this book, we’ve included some information to help you along, such as how to cook food in a more healthy way and the fiber contents of some common foods.
Best of all, none of these recipes seem like “diet” food - they contain commonly found ingredients and lots of good tastes…you won’t be left craving foods that aren’t very good for you. While you will probably see some weight loss on the TLC diet, the benefits of better cholesterol counts and blood pressure readings will be the best rewards you reap.

Introduction
The ultimate aim of the TLC diet is to reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease by reducing cholesterol intake, namely by decreasing fat intake. This TLC regime was created by the National Institutes of Health’s National Cholesterol Education Program. This eating plan is also endorsed by the American Heart Association as a means of maintaining a heart-healthy eating plan.
How does TLC work?
The TLC program consists of three parts:
Diet: TLC decreases the amount of saturated fat and cholesterol intake and increases the intake of plant stanols, sterols and fiber.
Physical activity: TLC recommends at least 30 minutes of physical exercise per day.
Weight Management: Depending on whether the goal is to lower cholesterol, lose weight or do both, a certain caloric intake level is used by each participant. Of that number of calories, certain percentages are established for fat and cholesterol intake.
What are TLC guidelines for the diet?
Daily calorie guides are established based on the participant’s goal for TLC:
Lowering cholesterol by 10% in six weeks: Daily calorie levels are 2500 for men and 1800 for women.
Lowering cholesterol and losing weight: Daily calorie levels are 1600 for men
