Choosing Wisely in the UK: reducing the harms of too much medicine

None of us do better taking medication we don't need and money that the NHS is in dire need of could be utilised elsewhere - imagine what we might achieve by working together.

Below you'll find my prescription to better health - you can choose whether to fill this one just like you can any other but I think you know by now what my views are on food as medicine. The right diet can be the most poweful tool towards good health that we can employ so I hope you enjoy this one.

 You can use raw chicken if you prefer - cut it into bite sized pieces and add it to the pan with the choritzo, turning it in the oils and fat to colour it and remove it at the same time, re-adding them together. It will probably need at least 20 minutes simmering time and may need a little extra stock or water so keep an eye on it. I like to use thigh meat if I'm doing it this way. This recipe will easily serve 4 people. If you want a little extra fat, dress it with a little extra virgin olive oil drizzled over as a condiment at the table.

On page 40 I refer to a link that would explain why I'm not too concerned about my lipid profile right now. It's on the reading list page, but I'll add it here too. How Statin Drugs Really Lower Cholesterol & Kill You One Cell At A Time - this blog post also explains why our bodies NEED cholesterol. Thank you Zoe Harcombe

I'm not trying to force my views on anyone else - our health is far too important for us not to take personal responsibility for it, but I can't find all this vital information and not share it so that you can have the chance to evaluate it and make your own mind up. All of the people listed are worth listening to/reading. There are links on the pages above already and more will be added as a) I get the time and b) find more. Please do yourself a huge favour and don't say "I wish I'd known this 30 years ago" as I do now.

Most people probably have a favourite quiche recipe and this (or should say these?) comes into that category for me. It's nice and soft as a quiche should be but firm enough to be stable without the crust. It's great to take on a picnic.

Even though this journey started out as me determined to become the expert in MY diabetes, the more I learn, the more I realise it's about so much more! I've always believed in the holistic approach and this way of eating and life is exactly that. It doesn't just look after my diabetes, it looks after ME and my husband too. I've said it before and I don't doubt I'll say it again - I wish I'd known about this 30 years ago! LCHF rocks!

The link to the Eggplant Gratin recipe is on the recipe page above and it's worth asking your local butcher if they do a rusk free sausage - I suspect most do these days and they're usually marketed as gluten free.

Here is the link to the diet doctor cauliflower lasagna that I used for the actual lasagne sheets. There is nothing wrong with the rest of the recipe and you may prefer it, but I thought I might as well share mine with you and give you a choice. Cauliflower lasagna a la low carb
