Every now and then I go on a diet – I’m the yo-yo type .. you know weight up, weight down! This One-Pot Beef And Vegetables, which is so low in fat, is always on our monthly menu, whether I am dieting or not.

A couple of years ago I was very overweight and after some tests were done, my doctor told me if I wanted to live another year I’ll have to, first loose some weight and secondly start to watch what I eat in future.

Apparently, I have High-Blood Cholesterol – according to the doctor … I inherited it. I’ve noticed that whenever you’re diagnosed with something nowadays, and the doctors can not give any other explanation, you’re told it is inherited!

 

Anyhow, I had to change my eating habits, started to eat more healthy foods, which included cutting down on fat. BUT, I absolutely refused to give up my red meat – no way! I did cut it down to only once or twice a week, though.

I started my own “diet” , rummaging through all healthy cookbooks, magazine articles and all I could lay my hands on.  Four months later I’ve lost 24kg (more than 50lbs) ! My cholesterol count was also cut in half.
