[QUOTE="noblehead, post: 195953, member: 11028"] My father was from the old school and believed a fried breakfast was must to start the day with, grilling was never a option and everything would be fried so his diet was rather high in saturated fat, I on the other hand rarely eat fry-ups and when I do I try to grill as much as possible to cut down on the fat content. Pizza was never on the menu for him but chips he would eat once a week, loved his cheese and all dairy would be full fat and would never dream of opting for low-fat options, this together with his smoking was mentioned by his cardiologist as the cause of his heart disease. My brother-in-law had a heart attack back in February at the age of 50, he also smoked and ate a very high fat diet according to his cardiologist, since this time he has stopped smoking and is now eating a much healthier diet as advised by the cardiac nurse, he feels much healthier all round and has lost 3 stone as a result, hopefully this will be enough to prevent future incidences. Hope the above is helpful! :) Nigel [/QUOTE]
