Main source of my fat intake was from olive oil which was about 2 tablespoons per day (in salads). dairy, in the form of low fat yogurt (1-2 times per week) and eggs (max 2-3 eggs) was always on very limited quantities during the week, With the exception of (small fishes) fish which was only consumed durring the weekends and not more than 3 times per month, no other meat or poultry was consumed in my home. basically the majority of weekdays we were eating dishes with legumes (lentils, kidney beans, chickpea) green beans, peas, olive-oil based vegetable dishes, potatoes, brown rice, whole grain breads, salads which always were present in the table, and of course plenty of fruits. i was basically eating as vegetarian my entire life. No processed foods, fast foods or sweets were allowed on my home, as a family, we were always very health conscious people.
