I have a few questions for those of you that are trying to follow the Greek diet. What would be a sample menu for you? How do you work it into your life? If you take fish oil, how much do you take? How do you incorporate flax seed or flax seed oil into your diet? I have added it to my homemade whole wheat breads. Any other suggestions?
I have not heard of fat testing. How is that done? Is it similar to a cholesterol test? I will discuss all of this with my onc and try to see a nutritionist although the last time I spoke with one she was very vague and just gave the general line about food pyramids, etc. Very oversimplified.
