aaargh Mike, this is confusing, though certainly matches the 4 pieces of toast i got every day for breakfast while in hospital -nothing like starting your day with Starch! the menu sheet said heart healthy diet, but i tell ya, i wasn’t buyin it – i was famished by 8 pm and raiding the secret fridge for tuna sandwiches and milk when i could find them. Nothing like being hungry at night knowing you have no protein to look forward to til lunch. I would have punched the dietician but she looked fresh out of school and so cute (pitiful).
Okay couple of questions
– one blip says 6-8 servings of grains, then another mentions -well, you don’t really need carbohydrates coz the body can make them – so why would one want to eat so much grain? I can totally relate to the fruits and veg, but grain?
This reminds me of the video i had gotten from you earlier when it’s all vague talking about this carbo and that protein and this – meanwhile my brain (and the other guy in the video too) saying, how do i relate this to REAL food? The only carbo food you mention in the clip is oatmeal.
- why low fat? from my own personal research i have found that good fats for the body are like oil for your car – they just don’t ‘run’ otherwise.
- why so many clips on carbs? and about controlling insulin? How does that relate to hypertension? okay i admit that the biggest evil in the US is really sugar, so is the idea that that is the cause of the hypertension?
- i notice no mention of protein as being particularly beneficial – through my smattering of nutrition trivia, i thought protein was needed to help your body build muscle and make repairs and do maintenance etc. I also noticed that when i cut the grains down to a 1-2 servings a day and upped the protein and fat, all the cravings for anything sugary just disappeared – no effort.
hmm still exploring this re heart health thing.
thanks for listening to my 2cents worth
