I would like to share with you my no fail diet technique I have been employing as of late. Before you eat something say to yourself, "No one ever got fat from eating too many______" and then insert the item you are about to consume. If it rings true, forge ahead. If it doesn't sound believable proceed with caution. Strawberries, yes. Donuts, no. Fish Tacos, sure. Buttermilk biscuits, eehhhh.. thin ice. That being said I have consumed all the things listed. The beauty of it is the sentence technique creates room for those little things that you might feel guilty about but shouldn't. Like i don't really think anyone ever got fat from eating lots of butter on whole wheat bread every now and again, or having half and half in their coffee, for instance. So lets stop saying things like butter, cream and fresh fruit pies are guilty pleasures. Deal? Also, no one ever got fat from eating a snickers bar every single night for 2 months straight, right? Am I right? One that definitely rings true is the meal I prepared for myself the other night. Halibut with hibiscus salt, baby potatoes, steamed artichoke with lemon butter, definitely delicious- and not guilty in the least.
