What is a diet portfolio
Nutritionist Daria Khrabrova says that the portfolio is a vegan diet, which involves reducing “bad” fats and including four categories of low-cholesterol foods.

Low cholesterol foods include:
plant protein products – soy, tofu; fiber-rich foods – oats, barley, berries, apples and citrus fruits; nuts and seeds; yogurt.
The diet originated in the early 2000s, but many have returned to it today due to the general popularity of vegan foods and restaurants. The diet is really aimed at the tasks that it sets itself. Saturated fats, found in nuts, seeds, and specially processed animal products such as ghee, are necessary for strengthening cell membranes and proper brain function (at least 60% of brain tissue is a fat component).
And trans fats, contained in large quantities in margarine and industrial baked goods, have a negative effect – they overload the immune system, liver and intestines. Any long-term inflammatory processes increase the risks of developing chronic diseases, autoimmune diseases and even oncology.
The goal of the diet is not to introduce a lot of restrictions, but to shift the balance of fats towards healthier ones. This is necessary in order to reduce the amount of LDL – low-density lipoproteins, which are often associated with high risks of atherosclerosis, obesity and cardiovascular diseases.
Pros and cons of the diet Portfolio
The Portfolio Diet may be suitable for people who do not have serious health problems – without diagnoses of the thyroid gland, gallbladder, liver or kidneys – who would like to take the first steps towards strengthening and maintaining health.
But there are downsides. So, foods with excess sugar are not excluded from the diet, but they also increase the risks of developing atherosclerosis and cardiovascular diseases. In any case, before starting any diet, it is important to consult a specialist.
