The American Heart Association and the National Cholesterol Education
Program recommend the Therapeutic
Lifestyle Change Diet (TLC) for the treatment of high blood
cholesterol, known as hypercholesterolemia.
The primary aim of this dietary therapy is to reduce the risk
of coronary heart disease and heart attack. The diets help patients
decrease their intakes of saturated fat and cholesterol and restore
appropriate calorie balance. At the same time, they promote good
nutrition.

Diet program, be sure to visit Therapeutic

diet recommendations and guidelines and the tools you can use
to make adopting a TLC Diet easy and rewarding!
