Still a Struggle ... but ...

3/30/2012

Yes, it's still a struggle to get Tom to fill his plate with color ... heck, it's still difficult for me sometimes! He's doing really well eating salads but I'm wondering how long lettuce, tomatoes and cucumbers will satisfy him. His salads are large but I'm not seeing much creativity ... granted, it isn't his strong suit so I think I'll make sure he has what he needs and written instruction to make it easier for him.

And that will be a struggle for me ... but tomorrow is Saturday and I will be shopping ... so, I'm working on a list for Tom that will help him build a colorful salad. I'll start here ...

START WITH ...

Lettuce
Tomatoes
Cucumbers

CONSIDER ...

broccoli
cauliflower
edamame
black beans
pinto beans
spinach
carrots
apple
celery
fresh mushrooms
sprouts
red onion
golden raisins
currents
dried cranberries
avocado
chicken
tuna
salmon
and the list goes on and on ...

... a former blogger for a health site, which means eating healthy aka heart smart which has become a passion for me. I will start at the beginning when I first discovered I had high cholesterol.

Blogger's Note: First and foremost, please do not go off any meds if you are currently taking something for high cholesterol! It is critical that you follow your doctor’s orders. I am NOT a doctor nor am I experienced enough to provide you with advice.

This blog is simply my journal of how I lowered my cholesterol. I am working with a doctor ... but, should you ask him he’d probably say he worked for me, which is true and should be ... in my opinion.

The things I have changed have worked for me and may work for you, but as I said, I’m not telling you to stop taking any meds your physician has prescribed for you, but to talk to him about some options you are willing to consider.
