Appreciate the concern Larry. All of my medical indicators suggest I am eating a healthy diet. I take the food pyramid seriously and take foods daily from all of it's groups in the correct amounts. My fats and lipids are at an all time low, compared to when I had my open heart surgery, also compared to most people, and my A1c is in the low 6's. Non Diabetics run 4 to 6, and my highest of the last few years was 6.4. Sometimes in the Summer, when it's warmer and I am more active outdoors I sneak into the 5's. I try to stick with the "all things in moderation" school of thought. If you were to describe my diet, it would look like the Mediterranean diet most closely. Fruits, Veggies, Nuts and Olives with some meat around the edges. Probably my plate pictures look HUGE, but I never clean a plate, and I slide the leftovers into a container, and finish them in the next few days
We ate leftover Lemon Chicken for dinner. I'm like Wade Boggs, and eat Chicken in some form almost every day. Sunday is Steak night, almost always leaner Filets. Pork is one place where I might eat too many fats, but we always try to precede it, and follow it with fish or chicken to take the edge off. Most weeks in mid week I'll make something else with red meat, but never more than 3 nights a week. Lunches are usually salads, or veggie based. I do admit to eating some eggs, that and pork are my weakest spots. We just had Donut breakfast the other day. That happens every 6 to 8 weeks. My Wife keeps count of that, or God help me I could eat Donuts, and Cookies every day, Freeeking sweet tooth. ^$$^*#%@$
Now if I do have an issue with food, it's I really do like to eat, and probably eat more than I should. This is noted on the scale. I, like most of the US population could loose a few pounds. Since my heart surgery I am down over 80 pounds though. That was 2013. The cath I just had said my pipes are clean, my pump is strong, with good valves, so I have a good heart now, it's just being beset by wonky electrical surges. I think I'm going to end up with a pacemaker.
