Abstract
In an attempt to demonstrate whether individuals with average plasma lipids would accept a diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol, members of a community organization were taught the HELP Your Heart Eating Plan. Results of 282 individuals suggest that reduced dietary cholesterol from selected foods could be sustained for up to 36 months. While both plasma cholesterol and triglycerides fell during a year of instruction, both rose to above initial values by 36 months. Overall, the results suggest that adults may be willing to accept a new style of eating temporarily but are not committed to making permanent dietary changes.This publication has 20 references indexed in Scilit:
