I've just seen the weather forecast for the next 5 days & it's rain! But do I care? No, because I'm off to Madrid for a few days & it's 35 degrees there.
I'm looking forward to sampling the gaspacho (chilled tomato soup), a great selection of tapas dishes & of course, paella. All washed down with a glass or 2 of Sangria - well, I am on holiday!
Wherever you may be off to here are my general tips on healthy eating when you're away:
- If you want to avoid the excess baggage on your return then stick to foods that are grilled, boiled, baked, roasted, steamed, poached or stir fried.
- Eat plenty of vegetables with your meals & enjoy local fresh fruit instead of desserts.
- Watch for creamy dressings & croutons on salads, and try to avoid dishes with the words deep fried, battered, breaded, pastry, cream, butter, rich, coated, dressed or au gratin (with cheese).
- Don't overdo the alcohol or your resolve will weaken, which will lead to poor food choices.
- I'm not saying be good all of the time, but don't indulge every day. Make sensible choices when you can and you will have more chance of maintaining your current weight.
Y viva Espana!
