What is a heart-healthy diet? The answer to this question seems simple. It's a low-cholesterol, low-fat diet. However, that is not the case. Eating foods with cholesterol may not have much of an effect on your cholesterol levels, but eating packaged, processed foods labeled "low-fat" is already harmful to our health.
Today the answer to the question of a heart-healthy diet is controversial. Low carb (low carbohydrate) diet? Plant-based, vegan diet? Mediterranean diet? Gluten-free diet or DASH diet? The list goes on and on and every diet has its supporters.
Here's advice for patients looking for a heart-healthy diet (and following a non-restrictive diet to lose weight).
1. There is no one right diet for everyone
The same drug can save one person's life but can also cause life-threatening side effects in another.
The same principle applies to diets. While one person can have amazing results with a certain diet, that does not mean that you will have the same results when following that diet. Just because you're not successful with a certain diet doesn't mean you've failed, it could just be that the diet isn't right for you.

2. You should like even better if you love the diet you are choosing
Even if there is research that proves a certain diet is the best (actually not yet), you may not be able to follow that diet if it won't help you.
Or you don't feel like eating foods according to the diet you are applying, the results will not be as expected and you will always feel like a failure.
Find a healthy eating style that you love and you will find the joy of food again. There are so many great tasting and healthy alternatives to foods you don't like to eat.
3. Avoid processed foods
If you can only follow 1 of these 6 rules then follow this one.
Processed foods make up 70% of the American diet and are a major cause of obesity, diabetes or high blood pressure.
Processed or processed foods often contain a lot of added sugars or refined grains.
In addition, these foods often contain many ingredients that you may not recognize such as preservatives and other chemicals.

5. Eat by portion
