While fat enhances flavour continue to cut fat off meat and cook in good oil.  This coming Winter is going to be season of the slow cooker!  Ok, so I’m following the current fad – but not all fads are bad!  An early trial will be some very lean goat meat I picked up at the local supermarket.  This would probably be tough as old boots if done as a quick fry.  The thought of a rich casserole has me full of anticipation.   I just need to decide on the veges to gone into the pot – don’t want too much carb.

Eat well, Keith

A Health Day video clip reports on the findings of a recent Harvard Medical School study that identifies the benefits of whole grains, coffee and nuts. The reduction in risk is substantial – a diet rich in whole grains reduces the risk of type 2 diabetes by 40% (versus a diet rich in refined sugar?). The video also notes the importance of avoiding excessive calories. To view the video clip click on: http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/videos/news/diabetes_and_food_092909.html

On the strength of this I think I’ll continue with my rolled oats, whole grain bread, coffee and almonds! Happy munching, Keith
