People that can't listen to other people's opinions.
People that can't say sorry.
I see Dr Hilary Jones has out his name and face to this magazine.

It actually says in the magazine "the Mediterranean diet... Highly recommended by the NHS, this massively flavoursome diet is rich in fish, fuit and veg, grains, pulses and olive oil"

I have not seen the NHS "highly recommend" anything but their eatwell plate.

The article still maintains beead is an important part of the diet eating it plain or dipped in olive oil.

Just surprised that they have said the NHS HIGHLY RECOMMENDS. Yet Dr Asheem Malhotra up against the GP on the breakfast programme a few weeks ago still had the GP (NHS) saying the opposite.

Makes me wonder whether Dr Hilary actually is starting to join the club that the eatwell plate isn't the best.

He is quoted in the magazine as mentioning the Med diet or Japanese peasant diet - not too much starch...

So perhaps he is starting to change his views?
 
Just noted on other pages he says "do your research into the fiet that will work for you. The NHS recommends a variety of popular fiet plans"

The magazine does not mention the eatwell plate at all....
 
The magazine is right as the NHS (and Dr Hilary Jones) acknowledge that the heart healthy Mediterranean Diet as being good for all round health, I've seen it mentioned in many a Dr surgery's/ hospital clinic patient information leaflets.
 
I must try to get different posters / leaflets for our Practice as they still advertise the eat well plate everywhere.
 
Still has so much of "eat plenty of starchy foods".... And mentioning of the eatwell plate.

Sometimes I just end up wondering how all this dietary advice is necessary at all from NHS.
The more I see actually the more I question what I am eating.. But just because I'm so far removed from NHS guidelines. It sometimes makes me doubt myself.
