What to you is an unhealthy and healthy day to day diet ?

[Chook]

I am T2, controlled by diet and (not enough) exercise.

For me, there is no point starting a way of eating if it isn't
Enjoyable
Varied
Interesting
Satisfying
Sustainable

I consider the following to be great for me:

chicken, lamb, beef, turkey, pork, duck, salmon, shellfish, mackerel, tuna, herring/kippers, haddock - and the fats and oils they contain
Cream, cheese, butter, kefir
Any veg that grows above ground, in a range of colours and textures
Coconut oil, olive oil, nut oils
Seeds such as sesame, hemp, chia
Nuts and nut flours
Strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, temperate fruit if in small quantities
70+% cocoa solid chocolate
Erythritol
Green smoothies (don't have them often enough nowadays)
Herbs and spices and seasonings

I consider the following to be harmful and generally avoid them:

Plant oils like sunflower, rapeseed, soya oil
Starchy root veg
Grains
Milk
Fruit smoothies
All tropical fruit
Sugar
Caffeine
Agave nectar
Artificial sweeteners
Chemical flavours, colours, preservatives

I don't enjoy alcohol so never bother with it.

I enjoy coffee, so drink good quality water decaffeinated, with cream.

Exactly what @Brunneria says, except that I like a G'n'T or three and Prosecco on my non-working days.

Healthy: plants, mainly green ones and red or yellow ones; foods with first class proteins: dairy, meat, poultry; seeds and whole grains; beans and pulses; seed oils, nuts; coffee and tea (anti-oxidants); water; apples and pears especially, but most fruits in moderation, low-sugar dark chocolate

Unhealthy: white flour in cakes, breads, sauces, biscuits, etc, etc., sugar, honey, syrup, fruit juice, fruit nectars, Palm oil (gives me IBS - a good ten days of diarrhoea), chick peas (ditto), dried fruit. Alcohol in any form. You can get resveratols from grapes, no need for the alcohol. And in terms of breast cancer, there is NO safe limit for alcohol. Also it causes fatty liver, the last thing any diabetic needs.

Healthy is varied.
Unhealthy is binging on one thing.

So I do not think one cream cake a month (for example) is unhealthy but five bananas every single day is.
