I’m a fan of your ideas about foods, as well as those of Chris Verburg and William Davis. Who should I follow? You who say I can eat a few slices of sourdough bread with butter a day, heart surgeon William Davis who completely forbids bread, pasta, rice and potatoes, or scientist Chris Verburg who is against bread, pasta, rice, potatoes, but for oatmeal porridge with raisins.
Can I eat Brinta porridge? And bulgur or couscous? Why are some of you current against red meat and milk? Is yogurt better than milk? The problem is that if I don’t eat bread at all, I get tired and sleepy and nothing comes out of the toilet.
I look forward to your reply with interest.

Leonard Hofstra, cardiologist:
Hi Sonia,
Very nice that you are a fan!
In food, generally speaking, there are ‘several good roads to Rome’.
In addition, the specific advice depends on the phase you are in, or the goal you want to achieve (for example, a stable phase, or a phase in which you want to lose weight).
Within SLIM, the advice is to stay away from grains/bread/pasta as much as possible. But of course this doesn’t mean you can’t take this every now and then.
The easiest way to find the right mode or way is to eat only what is pure, unprocessed and fresh. Then you really can’t go wrong.
Hopefully this helps you further!
Do you also have a question? Then ask one of our experts. Always go to your doctor with urgent questions, the experts are not the right person for that. They also do not diagnose. The other conditions can be found here.
dr. Leonard Hofstra works as a cardiologist at Cardiology Centers Netherlands in the Utrecht location. Here he sees thousands of patients a year, who are usually referred by their GP. He is also very interested in the impact of lifestyle on cardiovascular disease.
