Nothing but ice chips were offered to me in the hospital for 24 hours after I fell. No food was fine. Didn't feel like it; didn't miss it. It actually took a few days for me to start getting my appetite back, and even then my old companion Dark Chocolate Craving was subdued. I decided not to invite it back, well, at least not to the same degree. One line of reasoning says sugar is acidic to the body and therefore not conducive to bone building. Diabetes is also a risk factor in my family. Etc, etc.
The other big change that Steve and I are trying is
switching our main meal from evening to midday. I remember my parents doing this at about our
age and it has served them well. So for
the last several weeks, we've had breakfast, dinner, supper instead of
breakfast, lunch, dinner. Because Steve
is retired now and it's winter and people aren't eating out much because of COVID-19,
this has been a fairly easy swap. Light suppers
are good, sometimes just a big salad, or a bit of leftover something, or just
popcorn. Tonight we had a baked sweet
potato with fixins; last night roasted veggies and walnuts with apple
salad. Don't forget the protein. It works. :-]
