Food For Thought...

Often I get asked how I manage to maintain trim despite an obvious love of food.

Rich dishes, devilish desserts... I savor them with epicurean delight. Diet? That, I find rather a misnomer. Let me then,instead,... share a personal school of practices I try to be as much a disciple of: 

• Home cooked, else...slow versus fast food. 
• Prefer grilled or baked rather than deep fried. 
• Eat often, smaller in portions.
• Know your herbs and spices. 
• Balanced meals, veggie-centric, as organic and as local as available. 
• Raw fresh vegetables, else... slightly undercooked
• When there are options, try local sweet specialties.
• More fresh or dried fruits, nuts, cheeses... less candies and chips.
• Wine, beer... to complement, in moderation.
• Self-monitor, and conditioning of own digestive responses to food preferences.

To good health... BON APPETIT!
