I am a new member and am so glad I found this site. Bear with me for a sec while I give you a brief history of my l/c eating and why I have turned to you for help.
I'm 53 years old, have a long history of arthritis, asthma, allergies and stroke. Weight had not been a problem until my stroke (at 46 years of age), due to being sedentary and relearning how to walk, etc.
Tried almost every diet in existance. Tripped over Atkins one day and started in April, 2003. Am having trouble following Atkins guidelines due to my stroke's leaving me with difficulty concentrating and focusing on things. I thought maybe NeanderThin would be easier to follow (no counting anything).
Phoned every mega-or otherwise and used bookstores in Edmonton and no NeanderThin books in stock but I will order one soon. In the meantime, can anyone give me a few tips on quantities. I know what can be eaten and what can't (thanks to websites), although there is some controversy from one website to another when it comes to certain things (for example one says parsnips are ok, another says parsnips are taboo).
Also, any little tips would be appreciated until I can get the book, such as "What do I put on my salads (just oil sounds boring and I read vinegar is not allowed, can I use say lemon juice?).
Any help, tips, experiences of you CavePERSONS will be appreciated. Thanks.
