Free Online Health

Hi, I am new to this site and trying to get in shape and lose some weight.

I signed up on the free training diary site, generated a meal plan, checked of high cholesterol on my profile and the results included some things I was told to avoid because of high cholesterol ( prawns, nuts, red meat). Also I am a truck driver and many days I sit driving for extended periods of time-any suggestions as to how I can modify the meal plan for this along with a very irregular work scedule?

Any input would be appreciated. 

Hi Truckergut,

I'm surprised you have found prawns in there so send me the name of that recipe and I'll make sure it is checked off against the cholesterol diet. Overall though, if you check the cholesterol box, it will make sure you only have low levels of foods with cholesterol in your daily diet. Also, don't be concerned about nuts as they can actually improve cholesterol. But seeing as though you are trying to lose weight they are probably best avoided as they can build up the calories quite quickly.

The best way to mofify your eating plan is to plan ahead. Don't give yourself the opportunity to just slip in somewhere for some takeaway as that's when it'll all fall apart.

Prawn Parcels showed up on day 1 as a snack. The hard part for me is I have to bring lunch with me and eat whenever I get a chance. Trying to eat more fruits and veggies.

Thanks for providing this free info- 

Swap the Prawn parcels with a piece of fruit.

Thanks for letting me know too!
