Create a Heart Healthy Diet That Tastes Good

Program Description
Eating for a healthy heart is a superb concept but many diet plans can lead you to tasteless, bland meals. Instead of cutting out favorite foods and flavor, learn to make small changes that make an impact in satisfying tastes. Purchase heart-healthy cookbooks to keep flavors fresh and make changes to your diet slowly to prevent feelings of food deprivation.

Actions
1. Keep butter and cooking oils to minimum, and try heart-healthy oils like olive, walnut, and peanut.
2. Skip full-fat mayonnaise and cheese on sandwiches, and replace with lean slices of avocado and grilled vegetables.
3. Try a variety of low-fat dairy, including soy products, to find which suits your personal tastes.
4. Learn to enjoy a small piece of dark, pure chocolate (loaded with healthful antioxidants), instead of sugary candy bars and fatty snacks.
5. Switch from beer and liquor to a small serving size (one glass) of wine with meals.
