Happy New Year’s… in Moderation… in More Ways Than One
Generally when I get email or read ads from stores after January 1st, it’s all about eating healthy, buying excercise equipment or ways to shape up in 30 days or less. I always find this so interesting how after 30 plus days of pushing over indulgence everything changes on a dime. Hard to take for a self-professed foodie like me.
I don’t want to hear that I have to give up my cheese sandwiches ( 3-Year Cheddar and Aged Swiss grilled with turkey on multigrain bread with Brennan’s Cranberry Relish on the side) and live on grapefruit alone, or
leave hearty pasta dinners (like Lasagna with Cremini Mushrooms and Spinach) by the wayside for low-fat yogurt (though I love yogurt). After all, this is Wisconsin. It’s freaking cold here. Who doesn’t want a hearty meal on a cold winter’s night?
So, what I’m saying is that I’m not going to write about ways to lose weight or achieve 2009 resolutions because I believe that if you eat most things in moderation that you should be fine. Every week there seems to be a study that says if you eat this or that fruit, you will help prevent cancer or something else. Well, all that is true and seems quite logical to me. If you eat a varied and healthy diet with lots of fruits and vegetables, whole grains, etc ,you will be much better off than if you eat fast food every day. But, you can still eat cheese and pasta and drink wine.
So, while you are enjoying New Year’s celebrations, watching football games or taking down your holiday decorations over the next few days, have fun, be safe and remember that starting next week you will get a lot of stuff about diets and excerise equipment, but you won’t be getting anything from me.
Happy New Year and Happy Eating!
