I had never heard of him, nor (thankfully) his meals, prior to reading the above story, in the U.K. ‘Daily Mail‘, this morning. It was so incongruous, given his young age, that I had to look into it. 45 (& it is possible that he might actually have been 43) is young to die from a heart attack. I know folks who have had heart attacks at that age, including a first cousin, but they all lived to tell the tale. Yes, I know that each heart attack is different & any one can get one, at any ‘adult’ age, irrespective of physical fitness, conditioning or diet.
Appears he was obese before going on a health/diet kick. (Smile) I can relate to that.
There are pictures of him in the ‘Daily Mail’ article — one as recently as last month. To be honest he doesn’t look that well. He does not have the face of a thin man.
There is also a picture of one of his signature dishes. Small portions — but one v. full cup of rice! Carbs. Carbs kill.
Well, I hope folks look in to this. I am curious as to whether he saw a doctor on at least a yearly basis for a physical. I gather that folks are lackadaisical about physicals in the U.K. — & he probably thought he was still too young. Would be interesting to learn what his cholesterol was. You would think that if he was pushing healthy foods as much as he was doing he would publicize his health stats.
Well, it is a shame. But, alas, we don’t know the whole story. A pity he didn’t have the doctors I had at his age.
