Some people are appalled by the above statement and think they will not be able to enjoy their meals anymore, or that the nature of their meals will be so different as to prevent them from enjoying eating. It does not have to be so. We are going to use an example (below) which is an extreme example. Fast-food joint Pizza is definitely not food fit for hypercholesterolemics or heart disease patients. However, if you make the appropriate "corrections", you can make a healthy pizza you will love. The following is an extract from a Chef Goodwizzard's (cookbook based on software nutritional analysis) recipe, it can be found in the hM Nutrition Journal.
In the fast-food joint or parlor, you may have over 60% of calories that come from fat. A good part of it being saturated fat. In the hM heart health version, the "total calories from fat" value is at only 16.9%. That is low, and the saturated fat content is very low. Dietary cholesterol is at 3% of total Daily Value. Of course this example is seemingly bringing it to the extreme. But it does illustrate that you can turn most recipes in healthy ones, with the proper ingredients and cooking methods.

10- NUTRITION AND CHOLESTEROL MANAGEMENT
We have seen earlier that the cholesterol sources were either Dietary intake or De Novo synthesis by the liver from the foods we ingest. In both cases, the nature of our diet is a primary determinant as to how much cholesterol will eventually be present in our bloodstream.
In borderline or less serious cases, diet is sometimes sufficient to bring cholesterolemia to reasonable levels. Furthermore, combination therapies, i.e. combining a tailored diet to cholesterol-lowering medication have been proven to be particularly efficient in halting or reversing heart disease.
Atherosclerosis (hardening of the arteries), or coronary heart disease caused by high blood cholesterol, is particularly absent in some large populations like in rural China. However these diseases are very prevalent in our western societies, especially in the American population. The differences in diets account for the differences in the prevalence of the disease. Actually, when a person emigrates from those regions to the United States and starts having our type of diet, their rate of disease due to high cholesterol starts to increase dramatically
Of particular importance are low-fat foods, especially those low in saturated fats and devoid of trans-fats. The intake of plant-based protein is encouraged.
