Food Pleasure or Pain?
Whenever January comes along
we start the year with renewed vigour and optimism that this year we will stick
to our resolutions and will do better than before!!!! That is fine until
the first birthday, wedding, or celebration
comes along and we have to face the fear of choosing to keep our best laid
plans or choose the wine, starter, main course and pud!!!! The balance of the
scales is there for just a moment…..then temptation, and our self talk kicks in,
one night is not going to hurt…..I will be good tomorrow, how many times have
we said that!!!!!
Well now thankfully Chefs and
Restaurateurs have realised that this is a major issue and if you ask in any
restaurant they will be able and willing to guide you in your choices. Having two courses is usually a good meal,
lighter starter and heavier or creamier second, or calorie enriched first with
a fish course will help restore your balance.
A desert is always a luxurious way to finish off a meal, even if you
really have not got a lot of room, so why not share one plate 2 spoons, can
also be very romantic!!!
Time is also important, when
eating a meal take your time, eat slower and savour the food, the chef has
taken care to prepare a dish with a variety of flavours appreciate each one and
then mix and match them, feel the textures in your mouth, you will be aware
that you can feel much more satisfied when you take time to really enjoy a
meal. It also gives your system time to digest food well, less possibility of
indigestion, heart burn or feeling bloated all of which are a big bonus later
on during the night.
Wine and champers with a meal
are great they enhance flavours and lighten any atmosphere if taken in
moderation or they can have the adverse effect!!!!! There are also ways of
minimising the quantity you drink, use a smaller glass, or dilute wine with
water or Casera both of which are calorie free, champers or Cava are excellent
with orange or cranberry juice, or alternate a glass of wine and a glass of
water. Alcohol has a dehydrating effect
on the body and can cause severe headaches, dry mouth and cracking lips and
tongue all very painful and totally preventable.
Eating, enjoying food and drink
is all part of life, being healthy and eating well, do not have to be a chore,
nor do they have to be difficult, making choices to help yourself getting into
good habits will stop you dreading the next meal out…….or party…..or barby. Your body needs food and nutrients, we were
not born to starve and our bodies do not function well that way either. With
good choices you are able to eat well in or out and make the most of every occasion.
