For all of you asking why Low fat and Low sodium. I have Cad, also know as coronary artery disease. Also have high blood pressure. Also 100lbs overweight. Also am diabetic, therefore, i need diabetic , low fat and low sodium. I have no health insurance, so, no, i haven't talked with a dietician.

Some fats, such as extra virgin olive oil, are heart healthy. And just a little can make food taste so good!

I would suggest looking at www.diabetes.org and www.heart.org for advice and recipes, if you can't afford to see a dietician.

These are the American Diabetes Association and American Heart Association web sites. Lots of good info and receipes on there.

You might want to check the DASH diet. The emphasis on portions is very similar to the diabetic diet.

Yes! This is also good advice.

For fun, I googled Indiana signature dishes. Some (sugar pie) obviously are off your list. But I am sure there are heart-healthy ways to prepare pork tenderloin, broasted potatoes, and ear corn.

Wow...very limiting. Low fat, low salt, low sugar...that pretty much limits you to eating potatoes!

Naa, I got no advice for any of that, but I can tell you (my conclusion based on my observations) that if you have some sort of heart or cv issue, sodium in the diet is not the culprit. People automatically assume that fat and sodium are bad for you, but fat might actually be what you need. It is worth looking into. Dont just do it, I dont want you to fall over and die bc of something I said. But do some research. You will find what you need.

Good news, you can eat more than poached fish. There are good fats and bad fats. Have more of the mono- poly- and Omega3 fats. Fats will help you feel full and make the whole dieting thing easier.

Saturated fat is NOT a bad fat.
