I am a heart patient that was diagnosis in May, 2002 of having a massive heart attack with only the backside of my heart working and I needs help in planning and finding out what are the best foods that I can prepare for my family. I have picky eaters and i really don't have the money to prepare two separate meals at meal time. If you have any I ideas please let me know.
Tinned salmon is perfect for you as a sandwich (maybe at lunchtime) then it doesn't matter what the others are eating. Half a dozen walnuts each day to snack on for you too.
Normal foods (so long as there's low saturated fat and transfat in them) are fine I believe. Low salt, low-sugar.(but these two things may depend on factors about you that I don't know. If in doubt ask your GP or a dietitian.
I had a severe heart attack so I know what I'm talking about. Done the research.

I read in a scientific journal that epicacins help the blood platlets not stick to the walls of our artries.. I know that these can be found in dark chocolate that is not processed, or cooked or dutched with added fat and sugars.
I had high blood pressure 3 months ago and started consuming Xocai which is a combination of the acai berry and unprocessed chocolate. only one available today as far as I know it and reasonably priced.
you can be a distributor or just a consumer, have it delivered to your home every 4 weeks .. I love the it and will not go with out..

I would hope your family would understand that there are certain foods you cannot eat! You should stick to fish and skinless chicken (white meat if possible) and baked, not fried; lots of vegetables (steamed) and potatoes (white and sweet), baked. Also ask your doctor if there is a Registered Dietitian on the staff who could give you a printout of foods you can eat. Let the family have their potato chips, ice cream, and other snacks. They will also benefit from the heart healthy diet. Good luck!
