I hate diets...

OK, I hate diets and dieting.  When someone recommends to me the latest coolest diet, it usually doesn't resonate with me.  Why, because I'm also a friend/fan of food.  I love food, and all different kinds of it.  I was raised in a household that rewarded me with good food!  I was also raised to finish my plate before I left the table.  So food and me, we are good friends from way back.  ;-)

So over the years, I've had to train my brain and my palate to eat "better for me" foods.  Growing up, my mom fried everything (many times in Crisco) and we had a big scoop of white rice to go along with the meal for every meal except breakfast.  Given my food upbringing, my choices didn't really change until I lived out of the house.  Over the years, the white rice became an occasional side dish and over the last few years my rice side turned into brown rice.    So if you're anything like me and like food, do your best to surround yourself with the foods you like, but with some substitutions for the bad foods that are still in there.  Having a burger?  Try it with just lettuce and no bread.  Craving a bowl of cereal, add a bunch of fruit to the cereal and use non-fat milk to make it a better snack.  Better yet, check out this article from Health Magazine, Eat More and Weigh Less with Volumetrics.  It's a great way to fill your plate but still drop the pounds.

Have a great week and hope to see you soon for a workout.
