A low fat low cholesterol diet would work to lower cholesterol levels in the blood and to keep it in check thereafter. This would mean reducing the amounts of animal fats consumed such as from fatty meat, eggs as well as dairy products like cheese and butter. Plants and plant products do not contain any cholesterol and should be included in a low fat low cholesterol diet. Unhealthy or saturated fats refer to those that are solid at room temperature. Trans fatty acids which are hydrogenated oils have the same effect and should be minimized. This means avoiding processed foods like pastries, biscuits, sauces, dips, deep fried foods and full fat cheeses and butter. Egg yolks, organ meat like liver and whole milk are also high in cholesterol ans are best avoided in a low fat low cholesterol diet.
