Ultimate Cholesterol Lowering Plan (UCLP) In collaboration with Alpro UK HEART UK is delighted to announce the Ultimate Cholesterol Lowering Plan (UCLP). What is the UCLP? • A scientifically grounded approach to cholesterol lowering, based on research conducted over the last 20 years • Includes a flexible step-by-step approach to cholesterol lowering with food components scientifically proven to benefit cholesterol levels • Uses motivational interviewing to help improve patient compliance How does it work? The UCLP’s foundations stem from the original research by Dr David Jenkins who experimented with a “portfolio diet” of key foods. He achieved a significant cholesterol lowering effect, similar to a low dose of a statin, in those individuals who were highly motivated to make changes to their diets. But few people in the UK have adopted the Portfolio diet mainly because of the prescriptive amounts of foods that need to be eaten and the lack of true resources to support them. Working together, HEART UK and Alpro UK, have developed resources to enable health professionals to introduce the UCLP to their patients. Our step-by-step approach combined with motivational interviewing techniques have been united in a brand new series of resources, starting with a unique patient flipchart. You can order yours by emailing “UCLP tool” (together with your postal details) to info@nutrilicious.co.uk or download a free copy here. The plan is based on the following key steps • Step 1 - Introducing motivational interviewing • Step 2 - Understanding Cholesterol basics • Step 3 - Taking a diet history • Step 4 - Getting the foundations right (low saturated fat, oil rich fish and 5-a-day) • Step 5 - The UCLP foods (soy protein, nuts, sterol/stanol fortified foods, soluble fibre) • Step 6 - Goal setting What results can health care professionals expect from the UCLP? The beauty of the UCLP is that everyone can potentially achieve some additional cholesterol lowering, whether they are following a cholesterol lowering plan already, or not. For those not already following a low saturated fat and cholesterol lowering diet the UCLP offers cholesterol reductions of 5-35% dependant upon individual motivational levels and the support received from their health professional.
