I'm a bit of an omnivore. I joke that I'm on the seafood diet. If I see food, I eat it. Having said that, my old dietary habits are dying hard. I still love bread, potatoes, and have an incorrigible sweet tooth. I am eating more fresh fruit (at least two bananas a day plus the occasional apple, pear, plum or peach - in season) and a few more fresh vegetables. However, neither of us is in love with cooking. We do recognize that processed foods are not particularly good for us. And like Bob, neither of us is in love with a lot of the available veggies.
My wife and I are seeing a dietitian at our PCP's office at the end of the month. My PCP has recommended that I follow the DASH, healthy heart, and weight loss diets. What I want to do is get to a diet that helps me reach my health, waistline reduction, and weight loss goals; fills me up; and tastes good. I wish I had taken home economics in high school. I would have at least learned how to cook, grocery shop, and stock a pantry.
