Unique recommendations within the TLC diet include options to add stanols/sterols (2 g/day) and increased soluble fiber (10–25 g/day) to maximize LDL cholesterol lowering.
One study28 conducted to assess the impact of a Mediterranean diet using exchanges for breast cancer prevention found that women who received fairly extensive counseling were able to increase the amount of monounsaturated fat in their diet with very little impact on their overall fat intake.

Using monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFAs) such as those found in olive oil or polyunsaturated fats such as those in seeds instead of saturated or trans fatty acids reduces the risk of diabetes.16 The Mediterranean diet is also inversely associated with arterial blood pressure, and olive oil use specifically may be as important as fruit and vegetable intake for both systolic and diastolic blood pressure control.23, The Mediterranean diet may even have positive effects on inflammatory markers24 and may reduce the risk for peripheral artery disease.25 Two outcome-based trials that included patients with diabetes demonstrated that a Mediterranean diet reduced cardiovascular and total mortality.26,27.
