YUMMY AND FREE RECIPES ARE HERE TO EAT! LOWER IN CHOLESTEROL, CALORIES and SATURATED FAT - Page 4 of 4

Yes page 4 of our top sweet recipes, nearly all reworked and modified to be ideal for the lower cholesterol diet: Lower in saturated fat and lower in cholesterol. Given that most who are pursuing a lower cholesterol diet will also be overweight, these cholesterol recipes are also the lower calorie versions.

These lower cholesterol, fat and calorie recipes are much lower in comparison to what the normal recipe is, without much, if any, loss in flavour and texture. If you are looking for low cholesterol, low satureated fat, low calorie recipes due to a condition or disease, then please check out our NEW: OUR FREE LOW CHOLESTEROL, Low Calorie, Low Saturated Fat Recipes Start Here, as the ones below are possibly not going to help a great deal, except perhaps as a special treat if your doctor allows.

SPECIAL NOTE: When a specific brand name of artificial sweetener is used, you can use the equivalent of the one you use. For example, a tablespoon of Splenda is equal to a tablespoon of sugar, so you would use your sweeteners equivalent to one tablespoon of sugar. I use Nutrasweet or it's generic equivalent, so I would use three small tablets. Be aware though, that if the recipe calls for cooking AND it requires the artificial sweetener to be added prior to cooking, then you need the special sweeteners that tolerate heat well, such as Splenda.

Also, be aware that although great effort has been made to get the nutritional analysis of calories, cholesterol and saturated fat correct, the concentrations within ingredients can change from one manufacturer to the next. For example, some cocoa powder has 0% saturated fat, while other manufactures turn it out with 7% and even 10% saturated fat. One really needs to be alert to the food analysis given on food items by the manufacturer and buy accordingly.

Also, please do not rely on the food composition tables given for each recipe below, they are a guide only!
