Restrictions: None
Heart-Healthy
So, hubby got the news that he needs to immediately switch to a diet low in saturated and trans fats, a.k.a., a heart-healthy diet.
I thought of the children's nursery rhyme:
Jack Sprat could eat no fat
His wife could eat no lean
And so between the both of them
They licked the platter clean
Although in the case of this diabetic wife, it's carbs, not lean. (What rhymes with carbs? Anyone?)
He's rediscovered oatmeal (born and raised in central Ohio, hubby calls the meal "oats") and eating Honeycrisp apples like they're going out of style (trust me - they're not.) We've had salads with lean meats for lunch, and he's learning new habits like reading labels and weighing his food. The poor guy has had a hard time sleeping the last couple nights due to all the fiber we've introduced into his belly (he can finally sympathize with me!).
Have you been there? What advice do you have?
PS: Hubby has never heard of dear ol' Jack Sprat and his wife.
