Answer 1

Congratualtions on your engaement! I am a Type 2 Diabetic with High Blood Pressure and High Cholesterol (3 major factors for heart attacks and strokes) and I just found out that my husband had been diagnosed with High Cholesterol also. I've changed his diet dramatically according to The American Heart Association's Guide Lines.

Answer 3

Use margarine instead of butter.

Any vegan recipe will have zero cholesterol, you can get lots of them at vegweb.com

Instead of deep frying foods, get an oil sprayer (I find the EMSA brand to be the best.) And spray your foods with olive oil and then you can bake it in the oven. It will come up tasting similar to being deep fried. You may have to spray it a couple times while it is in the oven.

Answer 4

Use vegetable oil instead-look for ways to cut the fat from recipes by adding fruit puree to baked goods instead, trim fat from meat, use an oil sprayer to cut down on the amount when frying. Unless he has blood pressure issues, salt should not be a problem except that studies show we all eat too much of it.
