7-day Low Fat, Low-salt Diet Plan

Imagine what it's like to be told that everything you enjoy eating is now off-limits: chocolate cake, butter, cream, sausages, bacon or whatever. Well, that's the prospect that doctors deal out to increasing numbers of patients every day. With this in mind, we commissioned "Good Housekeeping" writer, Carolyn Humphries, to devise a diet plan which removed the harmful cholesterol without removing all of the favourite 'sinful' foods as well. Here, Carolyn explains the health issues and then, in a seven-day recipe programme, shows readers how they can change their eating habits without sacrificing good, enjoyable, satisfying food.
