so I've never been great with my diet. Just wanted taught any better growing up, and miraculously my BMI's always been pretty average. But recently I've been trying to eat more fruit and "hide" more veg in my meals. I realized the kids gonna grow up and I'll have to set an example, but I admit its been a slow start. Got some blood test results and turns out I might need to pick up the pace a bit. I'm fine in my 30's, but the numbers wont be so fine as I get older. Blood sugar a tad high (but not alarming) and good cholesterol shit bad cholesterol high (didn't know there WAS a good cholesterol). Anyone been in the same boat and got some tips or hacks that helped you on your journey?
Swap full cream milk for light. There's very little difference. Keep butter to minimum (that one hurts me). Deep fried foods are occasion foods. Same as icecream and cream.
I dont do too much dairy anyway since I cant. When I do its a rare treat for lactose free cheese.
My daughter drinks lactose free milk. Coles has lactose free light milk for $3.10 which she prefers. Aldi also has lactose free milk and a longlife one as well. I know that's not what you asked but maybe that might help.
Worth checking out, thanks.
