I have been considering changing my diet to vegetarian because of my personal and family health history including heart disease, strokes and blood disorders. My boyfriend is overweight and has heart problems and diabetes. What diet would be best for us?

It is NOT a low saturated fat diet. You need a NUTRIENT RICH diet. Have red meat untrimmed, berries, green vegetables, yellow vegetables nuts
Do NOT eat things that SPIKE blood sugar which is exactly what the farcical low saturate dfat diet does..
Our diet we evolved on the PALEOLITHIC diet.
A handful of berries and green leafy vegetables everyday.
And get moderate exercise (some lifting , brisk walking) for nitric oxide ( a gas ) production to DILATE the arteries and maintain flexibility and anti clotting
Just clear the exercise part with your doctor.
Good for you for making this important decision. I hope your boyfriend is “on side” and supports your efforts… for your sake and for his!
Lifestyle changes, as you are considering, can be difficult to maintain. It takes time to adjust to new routines and to make that commitment “stick”.
It is important to have some good resources at your disposal that can assist and guide you along the way. To this end I would suggest you bookmark this website: http://www.smart-heart-living.com/index.…

Good luck as you embark on this new chapter in your life!
