Welcome to my healthy diet page. Here you'll find lots of links to recipe sites, my story and eventually I'll have other health related links to article and websites. The my-recipe.com link above is to my very own delicious banana bread/cake!!
Food is one of my favorite things in the whole world, I love to eat and love to cook!! In early 2000, when pregnant with our third child I developed gall bladder disease which forced me to change my dietary habits for the better. I eleminated about 90% of my fat intake at the time which led to the challenge of finding recipes that I still enjoyed while cutting out most of the fats. I did really well and thought I'd improved a lot in the past few years.
I was recently(mid-2003) diagnosed with Stage 1 Hypertension or High Blood Pressure. I have decided to take a prescription medication while learning how to control it through exercise, diet and vitamins/supplements. So, I'm now in search of recipes that are not only low in fat, but also very low sodium! It is hard to find ready-made foods(even health foods) that are low sodium, much harder than finding low-fat, so I'm learning to make things from scratch in order to leave out the salt! I am also cutting down on cholesterol just for the health of it. The sites I have listed here have thousands of recipes, some lowfat, some not. Check them out if you need a new recipe or have lost an old favorite, I'm sure you can find something to eat!! (yoga/exercise/general health links coming soon)
