M_JG Posted March 15 Report Share Posted March 15 Its everything in moderation. Obsessing about diet to the extent you end up never eating anything that tastes nice or you live like a rabbit is depressing. Of course if you eat a full English/Welsh/Irish/Scottish breakfast every single morning (and some do) it will catch up with you. But as an occasional treat it will do you little harm. I think my last one was over a week ago. Let's keep a sense of perspective. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magnetman Posted March 15 Report Share Posted March 15 Similar I suppose to the beer. Some beer each day keeps the doctor away but overdo and they will come to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well any alcohol, but yes. There was some study a few years back that showed red wine was good for you. But it didnt mean a barrel a day.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With a glass of OJ and a slice of wholmeal toast (with Jam or marmalade) or sometimes on a weekend a croissant or Pain au Chocolate. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its the lack of 'specialist' knowledge that can be an issue, and the knowledge of when to refer on. General Practice is in itself a specialism. .

Tony Brooks Posted March 16 Report Share Posted March 16 Remember, "go to work on an egg" because they are good for you, then oh, no, don't because they have too much cholesterol. Then I read there are good and bad types of cholesterol, so you can eat plenty of eggs again because eggs have good cholesterol. I don't think that you will go far wrong with a varied diet containing a wide range of foods, especially vegetables and fruit. I take the latest pronouncements about diet and what is good and bad for you with a pinch of salt. It is likely to alter in a few years. Actually I very rarely add any extra salt to me food and find restaurant food is often over salted. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been there. Totally agree but it’s what the nhs nutritionalists said 15 years ago. It’s taken them a long time to catch up with the fact that substituting fat with carbs on demand is not a good idea.
