After Jason (SO to Jen of Life begins at 30) was put on a
very restrictive diet by his doctors, the couple changed their lifestyle rather radically. Jen has a great post in which she reports on the progress with this change - it was especially challenging to get enough protein in their diets - and relates the 11 things that have made the going easier. Some of the highlights:
- Steel-cut oatmeal, "a low-fat way to start the day."
- Soba noodles, "a noodle-type product that still has some protein."
- The Le Creuset 9 1/2 inch grill, so you can cook up "meats and tofu and veggies without any added fat."
- Rotisserie chickens, good for two meals and allows Jason to eat the healthy white meat while Jen gets to "nosh on the legs and wings."
- Zojirushi rice cooker, which can cook both oatmeal and brown rice. Jen says it "was a bit of a splurge, but we couldn't get along without it."
