@realgutfeeling: How I lowered my LDL from 145 down to 84 🧵 Saturated fat was one of the main pieces not many people talks about. For heart health, you want to stay around 13g a day. If you're aggressively chasing a lower LDL like I was then you're looking at 7-10g. We consume way more saturated fat than we realize without even noticing it. I cut mine down to 7-8g most days. Have you ever actually counted your saturated fat for a day? Drop your guess below 👇 #cholesterol #LDL #fyp #hearthealth #cardiovascular
The reduction in saturated fat is the biggest driver of LDL lowering. It’s even more powerful than exercising….

As a dietitian it’s worth noting coconut oil is an exception and has not been linked to increased LDL. So this is true when in regards to animal fats which are always bad, except fish.

I track in the Cronometer app. Careful with dairy and coconut products. I aim for 18 grams or less.

Its all so confusing. My husband just learned he has high LDL and triglycerides. I’m trying to watch what I cook and buy. They say nut (he likes cashews) are good for you but they have a lot of saturated fat

What’s your diet like when you keep under 12 G of saturated fat?

I’ve kept mine below 10g a day for the past 3 months and I’ve been surprised how easy it actually was with just a few simple swaps! I’ve switched to skim milk, limit cheese, olive oil instead of butter and use extra lean ground beef.

I just do fats in general and like to keep my total fat around 50.

The only way I have been able to keep my saturated fat intake to no more than 10g a day is to be plant-based. I am not completely vegan but I do stick to fat free egg whites and Greek yogurt. I have no more than 2 ounces of chicken breast and always combine it with beans, legumes and lots of veggies. When I eat something higher in fat like nuts, seeds, avocado or salmon, I make sure the other meals are virtually saturated fat free. I am able to do this by eating plenty of fresh fruit. I will sometimes, especially when I travel, have fresh fruit all day then order a large salad with a 3oz portion of salmon or white flaky fish with a big salad. I ask for oil and vinegar on the side so I can control the amount of oil being used.

What cheese do you recommend in moderation and do you think skim milk for coffee is OK

Extremely difficult. Even olive oil has 2g of saturated fat in every serving

I've been asking around about how much daily saturated fat can a person consume when watching thier LDL ? I think your correct 7 to 10 grams daily is ideal 👌

I might give up saturated fat, but egg yolks. I’m not sure I can give up and maybe not even cream occasionally.
