what can I make for him to eat?

Question

My dad has recently suffered a heart attack, and when he was in the hospital he was diagnosed with high cholesterol, as diabetic and with gall stones. He has been told to avoid sugar, salt, high fat and greasy foods. I can't seem to find anything except salads and vegetables that find into all three categories!! Anyone out there with some advice, and maybe even recipes or sites to visit would be greatly appreciated.

Answer 1

My dad was also a diabetic with heart problems too. Here are some suggestions on where you can get some recipes and ideas of what to cook for him:

Hope this gives you some ideas. You may want to educate yourself more about how you might be able to avoid diabetes and high cholesterol since having these problems usually inherited. Learning to eat healthy and incorporating a moderate exercise program into your lifestyle (and encouraging you dad to do the same!) may help the both of you!

give him oilve oil wit his salad,4 to 5 walnut can lower the cholestrol and oatmeal too.
turkey and chickens are good but not meat.fish is good too.
no yolk but egg white is ok. vinegar.Skimmed milk.All fresh and frozen vegetables. Peas, beans, sweetcorn. Dried beans of all kinds )e.g. haricot, red kidney, butter beans), lentils, chick peas, are particularly high in 'soluble fibre'. Jacket or boiled potatoes - eat skins wherever you can. Fresh fruit, unsweetened tinned fruit, dried fruit.

Grilled chicken. Lean turkey. Low fat cottage cheese.
