Your physician has ordered a special diet for you based on your current medical condition.
You’re on a heart healthy diet designed to limit the amount of sodium, saturated fat and cholesterol in your foods and liquids. Trans fats and many processed fats are also taken out of this diet because of the negative effects they can have on your cholesterol levels.
Many of the foods you’ll receive are naturally low in sodium or are unprocessed, because many processed or pre-packaged foods tend to be higher in sodium. Many of the foods will also be low in fat. The foods you receive should meet your main dietary needs, and will be adjusted by your dietitian if needed.
