Ok, I am in a strange situation. I am kind of limited to what I can do as far as cardio workouts given I have a new hip, and arthritis in the ankles w/ recurring bouts with tendinitis/bursitis.
I am looking to try and drop some weight while improving my cardio and only thing I can really think of is swimming. Given that I'm 6'7 stationary bikes are kind of uncomfortable, and I haven't ridden a real bike in almost 20 yrs, and given the new hip, fall = bad news.
The other thing is, since I'm disabled I am kind of stretched thin for a budget. When I was on a diet it was about 1 lb of protein a day, unlimited fruits and veggies and rigorous portions for everything else.
My question is for you food/nuitrition guru's is this: I want to start eating a lot healthier, but my budget is limited and I live in an apartment. I was thinking of growing cherry tomatoes on my patio and use those to snack on instead of chips etc. (I love them as is, don't need salt or anything). Good, bad, neutral?
And any other veggie type that I can grow on a patio that could be used as snack food would be great.
Thanks,
Brian
