Macro partitioning

Replacing saturated fats with unsaturated fats (particularly polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fats) provides the greatest cardiovascular benefit, whereas replacing saturated fat with refined carbohydrates does not.

Reduce intake of saturated fats (found in butter, fatty meats, full-fat dairy) and replace them with unsaturated fats (found in olive oil, nuts, seeds, fatty fish). Do not replace them with refined carbohydrates like white bread or sugar, as this does not improve cardiovascular outcomes.
