I'm trying to find the right things to eat based on my current lifestyle, I have to reduce my cholesterol whilst losing maybe a stone or two of weight, my family have a predesposition for high blood pressure, so stress and salt are generally a big no no.
The obvious standards which is very much touted these days are 5 portions of fruit and veg per day, 2 litres ( 4 pints ) of water per day.
Your plate should be divided mainly into 3 parts, .5 veg / .33 carbohydrates / .26 meat or other protein.
Some fats are good. particularly those without saturated fats.
What to keep/have in my current daily diet
(I'll try to keep this updated.)
1-2 oz (50g) peanuts - this has no cholesterol, and contains lots of mono- and poly-unsaturated fat and dietary fiber, therefore can be quite filling and is full of good fats. The salted "KP peanuts" contain .3g of sodium (much lower than the RDA of 1.6g)
