Interesting discussion here. Our doc. says that adults do not need as much protein as when we were young and once or twice a week is optimum for hubby, stay away from canned processed foods and stick with veggies. Well excuse me but not every one can afford unprocessed foods ie fresh fruits and veg.
Saw the Oprah show or part of it on when the ate vegan for a week. I'd love to go vegan but would be left with only veggies to eat, can't do the grains cause of the carbs.
We have cut back to meat once a day however and do not eat cereal for breakfast or pizza for dinner any longer. Weight gain as we age is part of our culture I guess.
I saw on the news that at the white house for super bowl party not a fruit or veg. was on the menu, just unhealthy stuff like chips dips wings etc. so Mrs. O. left the healthy eating for the non party events I guess. Makes you think ~ I still enjoy a veggie tray at a party it gives an alternative to those that want one.
I did get a walk in yesterday even with the winds we had with wind advisory in effect.
