For 20 years, Mr. J has run a busy, successful business that has meant little time with his family and irregular meal times. He eats on the run, and plenty of it is fast food. With elevated cholesterol levels and a family history of heart disease, his newly diagnosed diabetes puts him at significant risk of CHD. Mr. J's doctor has recommended a 1500-calorie, low-fat, low-cholesterol diet. He has also recommended lifestyle modifications to increase exercise and decrease stress.
