TLC Diet | The U.S. government-endorsed diet was created by the National Institutes of Health's National Cholesterol Education Program. It stands for Therapeutic Lifestyle Changes, and it's also been endorsed by the American Heart Association as a heart-healthy regimen to reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease. In short: Cut back on fat, particularly saturated fat (fatty meat, whole-dairy milk, and fried foods), and eat more fiber. It was developed more to control cholesterol than for weight loss, and the only resource is?this online manual, but the advice is certainly sound.
