Enjoy cooking so keen to introduce meals that support my condition and desire to remain fit and active.
if you are looking for help on your diet - well I could go on for hours!
The Mediterranean diet is thought nowadays to be the best to follow, and you can find reference to this all over the internet - no need to buy anything special.
Both the NHS and BHF publish guidance on diet - but their general guidance is for those who wish to lose weight, in my view. They say, go for low-fat options. Well if you are trying to lose weight I suppose that’s ok but “low fat” options generally contain additives to make whatever-it-is palatable, by the manufacturers, so make profit.
They add what are called UPF’s, Ultra Processed Food ingredients - things you wouldn’t have in your kitchen. Other than bread and bread flour, many of which must have additives by law, these are nowadays thought to be a bad idea for a good diet - if you see what I mean.
If you are into Facebook, there are Facebook groups on this subject.
Was this the sort of thing you are looking for?
Good to hear Jeeves, welcome aboard . Keep up the good work . I made some tweaks to my nutrition , making my own breads has been a great change , way less salt and no need for sugar . White lean meats (turkey & chicken ) and fish (salmon) make up the mainstay of my diet and occasional red meat, a nice steak .
Running, swimming and some cycling plus work round our small holding is enough for me . Nstemi, quadruple bypass July 2023 . 63 this year 👊🏻.
