My 15 yr old cousin was recently diagnosed with high cholesterol and has been eating all the wrong things, her mother still buys the high fat snacks for her siblings, but expects the 15 yr old not to eat them. SHe has been found with junk food stashes and this is getting out of hand, she is afraid to diet because she thinks she has to give up all the foods she loves for "rabbit food". If anyone has any ideas or recipes pack with alot of flavor but not alot of fat please pass them along.

there is a lot you can eat!! grilled fish is great - or grilled chicken - and it does not have to be bland - sprinkle it with chili powder or garlic powder you can also get mccormicks grill mates - but get the salt free!!!!! a george forman grill is great for this and they can be picked up cheap at big lots - you can put veggies on the grill too - like green squash (zuccini) yellow squash & baby carrots - cut then to about 1 inch thick and sprinkle them with the same season as the meat and stick them in the forman grill!!!
if you are going to use a fryingpan instead of using oil - use water!!!
steamed veggies - or veggie stir fry - dice up onion and several different colored peppers put a frying pan on get it very hot - put a little water int he pan they add the veggies and keep stirring them - you can add sliced grilled chicken too - then serve it over lettuce - or wrap it in a low cholesterol tortilla wrap!!!
buy smart balance butter - it has stuff in it to help lower cholesterol -
and remind mom that if the other kids keep eating it when they are 15 they will need special diet too!!!

Salsa fights cholesterol and so does corn chips. They are rich in flavor together and a snack food.
Cream cheese spread on a celery stick is scrumptous and low-cal/low-cholesterol.
Peanut butter and honey tastes fattening, but actually isn't.

I recommend the Food Network. too. They have a couple of good shows on TV, "Low Cal & Lovin It", and "Calorie Commando". The web site is good, also.
Me has alot of good suggestions.
