Yes and no @Former-Member

No because he loves his meat , spaghetti , biscuits , rice , pasta so I am trying to cut down on the portion I eat and try not to eat processed foods , and biscuits etc

i have to cut down on salt, sugar, protein, postummium which i am finding hard

Re: Ups and Downs of Husband`s Mental Illness

A lot of cooking from scratch I would imagine to avoid the salt and sugar @Shaz51
Are there particular recipes that might interest you that we could keep an eye out for that we could add on the cooking thread?

Re: Ups and Downs of Husband`s Mental Illness

No bananas, not too much potatoes ,, sweet potatoes, fruit-- pinapples , melons , stone fruit and most veges-- Broccoli, eggplant, capsicum have a lot of potassium in them , I just cut the portion in half , i have the portion sizes here at home @Former-Member

Hi @Shaz51@Former-Member I didn't realise those fruits and veges had a lot of potassium in them. I love my bananas and have a couple every day. Broccoli and capsicum are favourites too. Likewise, melons and pineapple. You would think that anything that hasn't been processed would be good for you. I guess it's a case of everything in moderation.

Hope the diet makes a difference. Can't go wrong with lean meat and vege stir fry with brown rice. I also eat fish a couple of times a week.
