That's an amazing diet. Fat free - Do you mean low fat ?


As low fat as possible. Very interesting statement on the front of some
Yogurt pots "FAT FREE", then round the back in the section contents "FAT
01Gr" Now that to me is NOT Fat Free. Low Fat yes, or even very low fat
:-))

As for salt and other salts you are probably eating more than think.


Yes I agree there as well. Look at any packaging and there is aways salt
in
its content. What I mean is that I do not tip loads of salt on my food.

Plenty of fruits which contain much more fat than you think.
Finally added fibre (bran) can be harmful to your ability to absorb

certain
vitamins.

At this rate you could be dead and gone within the week.


Taking all of the last statements together some people may be pleased to
see
me dead within the week, but according to my doctor I won't be, at least
by
diet and how I was the last time he did a check up. I will take my doctors
advice because according to him, it is 'In his own interest to keep me
alive'.

All I know is that I am going to have to say 'No' to a lot of the food
whilst I am away :-((

The truth will prevail



OK glad we agree. Whilst on this salt subject you may have noticed that a
lot of products state the sodium content which you need to multiply by
approx 2.5 to find out the actual salt content as sodium chloride. I've
always wondered whether it's to much sodium anything that is bad for you or
just sodium in the form of sodium chloride.
Sodium citrate /bicarbonate/phosphate etc etc are all widely used in
foodstuffs.
