I had a "mild" heart attack 3 weeks ago and the doc insists I change my diet?
Filed under: Heart Diet — admin @ 6:03 pmHe wants to change from high fat, high sodium very tasty foods to a card board tasting "heart healthy" diet. Most of the food I cook at home tastes better than McDonalds anyway, so why should change to cardboard?
short answer to your question: because you want to live!
There are lots of tasty foods that aren’t high sodium, high fat.
Another good solution is to eat LESS. That means eating more complex carbs and fibre, to give you plenty of energy and make you feel less hungry. That should also increase your metabolism, so you burn more calories.
Myself, I’m a vegetarian, and I know exactly what you mean by cardboard. Half the time people try to make vegetarian food for me, they don’t know what they’re doing and make me whole-wheat pasta with nothing on it, plain salad, and dried bean-paste (or something). I eat as little as possible without offending anyone.
If you want to save your heart AND your palette, you need to change the way you’re looking at food.
Did you know that much of the world’s fine cuisine is heart healthy? Avoid the obvious like fried foods, fatty meats, and heavily processed foods, and take a look at what’s left. If you have an open mind you’ll probably be surprised how much tasty stuff is out there.

I’m trying this diet. I’m on day 3. I found out after I started it that it’s supposedly awesful for you and it’s extremely low calorie and not nutritionally sound. Oh well.. I started it so I’m finishing it. it tastes good and there’s nothing wrong with eating vegetables.
