All the things that any dietician will tell you to reduce or eliminate from your diet.
One of the largest studies on the effects of saturated fat and coronary heart disease / stroke studied 348,000 people for 23 years and concluded that saturated fat played no role in increasing the risk factors for these health issues.
Fat isn't our problem.
Statins aren't the answer for the majority of people.
Any dietician that follows food guides that are 50 years out of date is probably not going to be giving you the best information.
When folks were eating more meat, eggs, cheese, butter, and lard and nothing was low fat they were not dropping dead from heart attacks in any higher numbers and diabetes was not the epidemic it is today.
What changed ?
