The TLC diet is one of the best known and best diets in the world for reducing cholesterol and body weight. The acronym TLC stands for  Therapeutic Lifestyle Changes and is a food program created by the National Institute of Health.

The diet includes a norm-calorie diet for women of 1800 calories and one for men of 2500 calories who suffer from high cholesterol, but also low-calorie diet plans for people who want to lose weight.

In particular, the characteristics of the TLC diet to reduce cholesterol and weight are similar to the Mediterranean diet , but they greatly reduce some types of fats, for example the saturates must not be more than 7% of the total fats, which must reach on average 30% of daily calories.

Only two eggs per week are allowed. Dairy products and milk are preferably to be consumed skimmed, and iodized or low-sodium salt is recommended for the preparations, very light cooking and dressings with a little olive oil.
