Looking after ourselves

Re: self care -- Food, Salt , Sugar , Water

I have been trying to incorporate a lot more veg and reduce meat in our diet @Shaz51

Re: self care -- Food, Salt , Sugar , Water

me too @Former-Member , Mr shaz is not into more veges -- no way

Re: self care -- Food, Salt , Sugar , Water

There's a difference with the twins @Shaz51 . Mr Darcy is more than happy to eat extra veg, initially as he was clogged up as a med side effect and in more recent times healthier eating has seen him lose a bit of excess weight.  I am enjoying trying a few veg recipes which have gone down well.

Re: self care -- Food, Salt , Sugar , Water

mr shaz will eat raw carrots, apples , loves beans , mushed potatoes , aspargus @Former-Member , so I should serve more things he loves xx and he will eat salads

Re: self care -- Food, Salt , Sugar , Water

Mr Darcy is not a fussy eater so it was easy for me @Shaz51. In recent times I have tried some recipes from the free supermarket magazines. Mr Darcy was buoyed by early successes in the constipation department and then managing to lose a bit of weight.

Re: self care -- Food, Salt , Sugar , Water

ha ha I know it sounds strange @Former-Member , mr shaz will eat what I serve Smiley Very Happy

it is funny when someone serves somthing that I would make and he would say " he did not like that " ( makes me happy he likes mine better ):smileyvery-happy:

Re: self care -- Food, Salt , Sugar , Water

If he eats what you give him perhaps just start dishing up a few more salads @Shaz51. 😀

Re: self care -- Food, Salt , Sugar , Water

Had a healthy meal for tea tonight - a Mexican salad made with black beans, corn, capsicum, tomato, onion and coriander. Dressing had zest + juice lime, white wine vinegar, cumin, chili powder and olive oil. Put in optional avocado and fetta cheese.  For dessert we had watermelon.

Re: self care -- Food, Salt , Sugar , Water

Wow, that sounds delicious @Former-Member!

How are you getting along with your diabetes and kidney diet @Shaz51 ?
