I eat a high fiber diet with lots of veggies and some fruit. I take 4-8 fish oil capsules per day and 2 cod fish oil tablets. The amount depends on my intake of fatty fish (then I will take less fish oil tablets) or fish in general (where I will take alittle more but not as much as if I have salmon, tuna, halibut). I have walnuts almost every morning with plain nonfat yogurt, berries and other fruit and extra fiber all bran cereal (or Uncle Sam's). I use wheat germ on this mix half the time and the other half I put ground flax.
I try to be as low fat as I can but I am not obsessive about it. I eat a salad with lemon juice for lunch every day (I am not sure about the oil in the "oil and vinegar" selection on the work salad bar so I don't use it). For dinner we have fish 2X per week and vegetarian 2 or 3 X per week and then usually chicken. We do occassionally eat beef and pork. I make salad and veggies again. I always make a starch as my husband and I are both runners and we HAVE to have it. I use only extra virgin olive oil (or canola for high heat - yes, sometimes I still make fried chicken!!).
I also take a mulit, CoQ 10, vitamin D, cranberry (suffered from UTI's), olive leaf and tumeric.
That's my diet and I'm sticking to it.
