8. TLC Diet

Followers of the Therapeutic Lifestyle Changes (TLC) diet, created by the National Institute of Health (NIH), are encouraged to eat plenty of fruits, vegetables, lean meats, and whole grain pasta, bread, and cereals, while limiting intake of foods rich in saturated fat and cholesterol.

In addition to promoting balanced eating, this heart-healthy eating plan suggests doing 30 minutes of activity a day. The TLC diet recommends that if losing weight is the objective, men should consume 1,200–1,600 calories daily, while women should aim for 1,000–1,200 calories per day.
