True, I didn�t. So here goes.
When we travel, I find temptation lurking around every corner. At conferences, seminars and meetings, where everyone is eating desserts, I feel challenged to maintain my commitment to good nutrition. Even at the finest resorts, there are absolutely no whole grains. And, since I don�t eat processed ones, I start to feel carbohydrate deprived.
And then, you know, what are you going to do when they place small servings of cr�me brulee (all sugar), luscious looking tiramisu or those tiny little tarts with kiwi on top � it all looks so innocent and inviting. But, if I can remember that it never makes me feel good, I can usually work up enough gumption to ask the waiter to bring me a big plate of fruit � then I indulge myself big time. It makes me feel really good � both physically and mentally.
When I�m home, I�m very lucky that my family believes as I do. We really walk the talk and eat healthy at home all the time. For example, last night we had grilled halibut, stir fried organic asparagus and a salad of organic greens, red peppers, cucumber and low fat feta with olive oil and vinegar. For dessert we had organic raspberries and apricots. It was very satisfying. There was no temptation � it was �out of sight, out of mind.�
Thanks for asking, Monica.
