The TLC Diet
No, the TLC Diet doesn’t stand for Tender Loving Care–it’s Therapeutic Lifestyle Changes. The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute developed to diet to control cholesterol levels and improve heart health. On the diet, people reduce their intake of saturated and trans fats, replacing them with healthy monounsaturated fats.
The TLC program has other benefits, too. According to the Journal of Lipid Research, TLC assuages inflammation and promotes immune function in the body. In 2018, another study linked the diet to a reduced risk of type 2 diabetes.
