A healthy diet is a major factor in reducing your risk of heart disease. Have you already started a diet?

For myself dieting at this time as my diabetes is playing up. I have gone vegetarian for the last month or so and lost over half a stone. The Wok has took a bashing with lots of stir fry as I don't like salad but has worked for me!

Hi everyone, I just joined yesterday, and if you haven't read it yet, I recently had a heart attack and I'm having a hard time recovering and adapting to my new life post-heart attack. I'm interested in learning on how to change my diet to prevent any further MIs. I've heard that red meat or meat in general can be bad for the heart, should I go towards a vegetarian diet? Or just any diet that's focused on weight loss? I know fibre is supposed to be good for cholesterol, should I be focusing on that? I haven't booked an appointment yet with a nutritionist so I thought I'd see what you all think here.

Thanks! xx

@Flora75 Hello Flora75, thank you for your comment. Let me tag some members who can share their thoughts on diet for heart conditions with you.

Hello everyone, how are you today? emoticon cute Have you seen this older discussion? What are your thoughts on diet for cardiovascular disease? Has your GP or cardiologist recommended any particular diets for you? Have you heard anything about fibre or meat and its effect on the heart? Feel free to share any and all advice here!

@Courtney_J I think someone already mentioned this, but my husband's cardiologist directed him towards the British Heart Foundation advice and guidelines. We pay attention to his salt intake because it can increase blood pressure, and then we try to reduce how much meat we eat in favour of more veg. At first I would also weigh and measure the proper portions of things but now I have an eye for it. It's definitely helped a bit. :)
