Thanks for the advice re. cholesterol-lowering options – we cut out all pulses when we started BSD, so it may be time to add these back in a small way, same with oats for breakfast occasionally too, with some added berries. Aubergine – we do eat this, but too often in a melanzane, which sort of defeats the object so maybe more ratatouille and babaghanoush and less melanzane. I usually cook with oilive oil, but some things I have preferred to cook with butter, so I am more consciously using olive oil instead of butter for these things, like mushrooms. We do like oily fish so again a conscious decision to eat these more frequently. Soluble fibre – would psyllium husk fall into this category, and how can we add it to our diet?
Otherwise, we have not had a bad week last week, my 16:8 TRE worked well, but am feeling a bit off this morning so decided to have breakfast – 50g mushrooms sauteed in olive oil, with a poached egg (2 poached eggs for hubby) and will make a chicken broth for lunch today, and some fish from the freezer for supper.
Tomorrow is Burns Night, so homemade haggis, neeps (swede – a small amount) and cabbage, no tatties will be on the menu tomorrow.
Have a good week everyone.
