Stuffing, if you'll pardon the expression? |
I vote for the "hold off Until the New Year" version!!! |
My diet belongs firmly in the Avoid column. Does anybody in their right minds actually eat Jacobs Cheese Footballs? I havent seen once since about 1977. |
I've mentioned resources for you to check before re cholesterol. Evidently, you didn't follow them up. Here's something easier for you to digest: http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=WV...h? v=WVLTLrtbNsM Basically the cholesterol story is BS |
Honey glazed carrots have zero cholesterol. Unless the Buzzy Familiars ate double cream when I wasn't looking... |
Depends what you roast them in ... |
For zero cholesterol honey-glazed carrots, steam or boil lightly, then trickle in BW Special, turn carefully to cover, then place in oven for 5-10 minutes to brown up. Simple. I'd forgotten that some people cook any other way than healthily! |
Oh dear, poor you. I'm sure you'll be fine if you relax the diet a little bit and compensate with lots of fruit & veg (you still get a satsuma in your Christmas stocking right?) |
Well, if you don't want your marzipan, DG, I'm willing to provide a good home for it.Honestly, the things I do for the sake of Xmas... |
On the bright side, surely once or twice a year counts as sometimes, so anything in the orange column is ok. You won't live longer in the green column. It'll just feel that way |
Don't forget the good cholesterol... walnuts. Nothing quite like ground walnuts in oatmeal, with bananas & raisin & strawberries. Also ground walnuts in lowfat yogurt. |
Surely roast potatoes and parsnips are all right cooked in vegetable oil. There's no cholesterol in vegetables, is there? You've been given a low fat diet, not a low cholesterol one. Likewise, what's wrong with good quality plain chocolate? Mind you, it lost me at the first word in the 'avoid' column. |
p.s. how many people do you know of that have died of high cholesterol? All you peeps please watch the vid I referred to above and stop werriting over absolute rubbish. |
Debster, I'm eating a bowl of cheese footballs (M&S version) as I write this, mmmmmm (but I did play an hour of squash earlier). DG Try some Opies pickled walnuts - top notch with turkey, hot or cold |
Isn't it ironic how most of the foods that we might consider delicious and would rather fancy at Christmas are in the Avoid column? How would I get through Christmas without roast potatoes, pigs-in-blankets and fried parsnips? Ah well, at least you can have the turkey... |
Why is it that health web sites (including the one you listed Bina) are so tedious. We need to jolly the stuff up a bit, so well done DG, even if you made me miserable. |
Me, I'm with one of the people who phoned into the Clive Bull show on LBC radio last night. One of the topics of the show was about the 'Five-a-Day' diet (as it applies to eating kinds of fruit and veg) and how it was that the experts landed on five as the all-important number. This particular caller thought it was about the optimum number of bars of chocolate to eat in a day. Yup, I like his thinking |
