1795.0. "Low fat/cholesterol recipes?" by IOSG::LAWM (Mathew Law (only *one* T), Reading UK) Fri Jun 02 1989 07:36

    Recipes wanted:
    
    	My father has just been diagnosed as having a genetic defect which
    means that his blood cholesterol level is too high.  As a result, the
    doctor has told him that he has to cut out a lot of treats like
    chocolate, cream, butter, and so on.
    
    Has anyone got any recipes, pointers to recipes, general suggestions
    for food that is low in cholesterol and saturated fats, but still a
    little bit `luxurious'?
    
    Apologies if this note is duplicated, or doesn't really belong here - 
    any pointers will be welcomed.

1795.1Did you try keywords?CASV05::LAHANASFri Jun 02 1989 09:2812
    Try using keywords:
    
    DIR/KEYWORD = LOW_CHOLESTEROL, or
    DIR/KEYWORD = LOW_CALORIE
    
    
    I know I've seen several recipes in this conference, and the keywords
    will hopefully help you locate them.
    
    Good luck,
1795.2Eating cholersterol awayWOODRO::MEISELFri Jun 02 1989 11:1012
    I too "had" high cholesterol until I purchased a book called
    THE 8 WEEK CHOLESTEROL CURE by Ron Kowolski.
    
    It's truly a wonderful book, not only does he explain cholesterol
    but gives wonderful recipes.  He takes the foods that we have loved
    over the years and fashioned them for us folks with the problem.
    The author had (if I remember correctly) 3 heart surgeries before
    he finally took his doctors advice and changed his eating habits.
    
    I hope this helps.

1795.3Low cholesterol/fat recipesANALYZ::HARTFri Jun 02 1989 13:0917
    
    	Someone in my family has high cholesterol, and through some
    reading, we have learned that any kind of bean actually lowers
    cholesterol.  There are some really good lentil soup, and bean soup
    recipes in cook books.  It's great because you can make a big batch,
    and freeze it in small containers (enough for one meal), defrost it and
    microwave it.  Soup always tastes better reheated anyways.  I found
    that the best recipes for both those soups contain stewed tomatoes, or
    some kind of tomato sauce.  Good luck!

    P.S. There are a lot of low cholesterol cook books out there, and the
    magazines are flooded with low cholesterol/fat recipes.
1795.4Go Away CholesterolHOCUS::FCOLLINSFri Jun 02 1989 13:2116
    Hi!  You might also want to look at those foods that fight cholesterol.
     Such as foods high in Omega 3 - tuna, salmon, mackeral, etc.  I
    personally take a supplement as I really am not this type of fish
    eater and unfortunately the supplement has not been proven, but
    I take it anyway.  Oat bran and olive oil are others.  If you like, 
    there have been articles in Prevention Magazine that add to the above.  
    I'll be glad to bring it in and post some.  Let me know.
                                                            
    We have someone in the office who really changed his eating habits because
    of high cholesterol.  After a year it dropped only 7 points.  So
    it may be a matter of eating foods low in cholesterol and also the
    ones that attack it.
    
   Have a good weekend!

    I recommend the American Heart Association Cookbook.  Not all the
    recipes are foolproof, but they are prepared to be low fat.
