A low cholesterol diet should promote several things, including eating only enough calories to maintain a healthy weight, increasing the amount of soluble fiber in your diet, and adding cholesterol-lowering foods to your diet. Foods that contain no cholesterol (and should be included in your diet) include fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and legumes. In following a low cholesterol diet, it is also important to limit your intake of saturated fat and trans fat.
