MEATS,
FISH

Avoid:
Marbled beef, duck and goose (remove the skin from
poultry); processed meats; luncheon meats (salami, bologna); frankfurters

including those used in cooking.

FRUITS

in saturated fats.

VEGETABLES

(the allowed dietary intake is so small, it may be better to avoid
them). Starchy vegetables (potatoes, corn, lima beans, dried peas,
beans) may be used as substitutes for a serving of bread or cereal.

FATS,
OILS
|
Avoid butter, lard, animal fats,
bacon drippings, gravies, cream sauces, and palm and coconut oils.
All of these are very high in saturated fats. Examine labels on

These are oils that have been hardened into solids and, in the
process become saturated. Margarine is one example.

using alcohol (1 oz liquor, 5 oz beer, or 2.5 oz dry table wine
per serving), 1 serving must be substituted for 1 bread or cereal
serving. Limit alcohol to 2 servings per day.
