Simple rule for me...outside meat, if it’s brown I leave it alone. When I started sticking to this I was astonished at the super market, you get outside of the fruit/veg/deli area almost every aisle is garbage. It was a whole new way to look at food and this is what a lot of people eat the most.
Have you got any helpful hints, or favorite web sites for this? I’ve found a couple, but would rather get a reference from someone on FR.
I need to drop weight, and right now, exercise IS NOT an option. I have severe arthitis and need to drop at least 40 pounds before I feel comfortable with having a knee repleaced (I actually need both replaced, but one is particularly bad.) My left knee joint is so badly worn and damaged that when I stand with my knees together, my heels are nearly 4” apart.
I saw an orthopedist in 2009, and without even an x-ray, he asked when I wanted to schedule the surgery. But I haven’t been healthy enough - my personal goal was to stay our of the hospital for a full year before subjecting myself to a voluntary surgery, and it’s now been just over 12 months (I have Crohns disease, which has put me in the hospital at least once a year, and last year, ruptured 2 disks in my back and have stenosis, and my feet are still “asleep” from the nerve damage.)
