There's a difference with the twins @Shaz51 . Mr Darcy is more than happy to eat extra veg, initially as he was clogged up as a med side effect and in more recent times healthier eating has seen him lose a bit of excess weight. I am enjoying trying a few veg recipes which have gone down well.

Mr Darcy is not a fussy eater so it was easy for me @Shaz51. In recent times I have tried some recipes from the free supermarket magazines. Mr Darcy was buoyed by early successes in the constipation department and then managing to lose a bit of weight.

If he eats what you give him perhaps just start dishing up a few more salads @Shaz51. 😀

Had a healthy meal for tea tonight - a Mexican salad made with black beans, corn, capsicum, tomato, onion and coriander. Dressing had zest + juice lime, white wine vinegar, cumin, chili powder and olive oil. Put in optional avocado and fetta cheese. For dessert we had watermelon.
