Health Food inquiry (2)

[Tom Priestly]

And while you are answering Phil's question, please enlarge your
answer a little to answer mine. The list and the archive have a great
deal of useful info about vegetarian diets, but little or nothing
that I could find about fat-free and low-fat diets. My fellow-walker
and I have both had by-pass operations. Since mine (in 1992) I have
kept to a very low-fat diet, and my arteries have remained unclogged.
This is easy in North America, with skim milk, and fat-free cheeses,
fat-free yoghourts, fat-free  ice-creams. On the protein side, I eat
any fish and the white meat of chicken, turkey, as well as legumes of
course. - In central Europe, which I visit often (e.g., Austria,
Slovenia) it is not easy to find the exact equivalents, but 1% fat
milk and so on is available.
Letters to this list have already taught me about tuna salads, which
with bread with cover three of the four basic food groups. I remain
however concerned about dairy products - especially after my first
visit to Spain, 3 years ago (Bilbao), where I found almost nothing
suitable (but back then I spoke no Spanish: perhaps I missed it).
I can go for a month without any dairy products, but would prefer not
to! Thanks, Tom Priestly
