Here's how you can help:

I need food ideas: After his heart issues earlier this year, he is on a heart healthy diet. Low fat and low sodium. This is a bit out of my wheelhouse so if anyone has suggestions for food or meals, please post them here. Please keep meal suggestions simple, we're willing to spend some time preparing things but we can't spend 4 hours making a heart healthy version of Duck a l'orange.

You can donate: If you want to kick in some money to help cover grocery costs I certainly will welcome that. PM me for details. For transparency's sake I will post a list of donors in this thread, but you can remain anonymous if you wish. I will also provide photos of what I buy plus receipts so there's no questions about where your money went.

I do have a couple other ideas I am pursuing as well, just need to figure out if there's a way to bring them to fruition. More on that later.

As far as food ideas are concerned, grilled chicken/fish and salads are probably safe bets. Outside of that, like you, not something I really take into consideration for myself.

This takes me back to my first meeting with the dietician, after my first four stints in 2007.
She said, 8 ozs. of red meat a week and I freaked out. I told her I had more than that every day for lunch. She calmly said, and look where that got you, 95% blocked in four arteries.

Oh and pork is red meat no matter what they tell you.

You can eat all the green stuff you want, the more the better. The less animal products, the better. Fish twice a week and catfish don't count as fish.

Eating out means mega sodium, whether it is fast food or a restaurant. Four cups of veggies and 2 cups of fruit per day. Enriched carbs are to be avoided.

Hope this helps, just some general guidelines.
