I guess at the same time, you increased fruits and vegetables, and "good fats".
The trick is to not overdo "bad" carbs, since most people end up eating a ton of bread, pasta, etc. when they go "low fat". Also, you have to avoid trans fatty acids like the plague - and you'd be amazed where you find it - all oils marked "hydrogenated", which is in virtually everything that is packaged. One of the biggest killers, IMHO, is food "fried in vegetable oil", when in fact the oil is 100% hydrogenated. They are allowed to advertise these foods as "low cholesterol" but of course, the transfatty acids kill them instead. A good example is McDonald's french fries - advertised as "no cholesterol".

My own food plan includes lean red meats, fish, fruits, vegetables, nuts and lots of "good" fat. I don't eat anything that comes out of a box, a can or has a label on it. I don't drink tea or coffee either.
