weirdly since diagnosis I eat less butter and use less olive oil and my cholesterol has increased. I do eat a lot more cream though. I rarely bought it before and we get through 3 cartons a week now.
The reason being I love(d) bread and would have toast and butter for breakfast. Bread and butter with ham and cheese for lunch and we often had bread and olives with balsamic and olive oil. When I say bread I mean bloomers and the artisan type loaves not that white sliced stuff.
Since a fortnight before diagnosis (i guessed) I have not eaten any bread but the lidl rolls - I had one corner of a piece a couple of months ago and did not like the taste. Now breakfast is 2 egg omelette, lunch usually soup or sardine salad and dinner meat dish, 2+veg plus another veg done in a sauce/butter or cheese.
I wondered about the silence surrounding saturated fats too. In so far as I can see all the old stuff about the evils of saturated is still doing the rounds (webmd et al). However dad was in the food industry and witnessed the manufacturing process behind margarine and ice cream so we have never eaten it.
