Macro partitioning
Trans-fats should be completely eliminated from the diet as they are the most strongly associated with adverse cardiovascular outcomes.
Avoid all trans-fats. Check food labels for 'partially hydrogenated oils' and avoid products containing them. This is one of the most important steps you can take to protect your heart.
