I find the Japanese diet interesting, from what I understand high in omega 3, fiber, protein and carbs but little saturates and is or was my preferred diet simply because I love Japanese cuisine. It is probably the least westernized diet of a developed country in the world though and they eat natural, clean ingredients. Me…

They track their intake on MFP and they themselves are very fit and healthy. Me myself I have a diet high in omega 3, fibre, protein and lean meats like chicken. Lots of carbs too. But since Christmas I have been eating allot of cheese and am just curious to know peoples thoughts.

Thanks for the response, completely agree - I try and avoid nasty trans fats but is palm oil bad for you if used in frying? I have heard bad things about the use of palm oil. I try and avoid peanut butter with palm oil and here in the UK most supermarkets are stocked with palm oil free options.

I just try to eat wholemeal where possible but I don't go out my way to do so. For example I had a Spaghetti Bolognese with garlic baguette, could have got a wholemeal garlic baguette from one supermarket if I really wanted to but generally don't bother as there are no benefits apart from more nutrients??

Just providing my overall diet of a period of weeks / months…

Thank you, this is something i want to start doing - using slow cookers and making one pot meals - making large batches and having them ready to re heat whenever. There are loads of great recipes out there. Your idea on soups as well is great - as you said most are so full of salt and even half a can is 30 - 40% of your…

I have had a couple of recent blood tests and there hasn't been any concern for levels of cholestrol or sodium. I also feel good at the moment and happy that I am able to control what I eat fairly easily - but I was bordeline overweight originally and no excersice or healthy eating was just not that sensible really. If…

I appreciate all your comments, I certainly feel allot better than i did say a year ago when all i ate was junk. Although visually i didn't look overweight - it was just a concern that i was eating nothing healthy and no excersise. I guess what started it was a family member had a stroke - 80 years of age so not young but…
