What Diet Should A Heart Patient Follow?

I had a major heartattack on oct. 1, 2017. I m not sure what reciepes would be good for me. It s rather difficult to buy some foods since I am on a fixed income. I am also not a veggie fan, I do like carrots, peas, green beans, mixed veggies, spinach, potatoes, sweetpotatoes. Fruits are apples, bananas, pears, peaches, oranges, grapes, pineapple. Meats are pork, chicken, beef, some fish. All the meals I cook are usually meat, potatoes, and a veggie. All my fruits and veggies come in cans which I do know isn t the healthiest. So what can I do. thank you very much,

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello,
The healthiest diet for heart patients is vegan. This is a problem since you do not like veggies that much. You need to minimize pork and beef and eat mostly chicken and fish for protein. Also it is important to NEVER eat fried foods of any kind. Try to limit meat to once a day and eat something like whole grain cereal or oatmeal for breakfast with berries. Try to substitute frozen for canned fruits and veggies and get fresh whenever possible.
Good luck to you.
