Dieting on the Road

Every January, most of us vow to eat a healthier diet and lose some of that holiday weight. I actually find it easier to eat well on the road, rather than at home, as I’m so busy exploring fabulous places and meeting interesting people, that I don’t think much about food and don’t snack out of boredom.

So, I’ve decided to go on the “eating out” diet. I’m not going to buy groceries for a month, except for some coffee, fruit and cereal for breakfast. For lunch and dinner, I’ll go to a new place every day, whether that’s a gourmet take-out market, a Chinese restaurant, or even a fast food outlet. I’m going to try the new little French restaurant in my neighborhood and the Austrian restaurant, and I’m sure I’ll eat a Cuban sandwich or two along the way.

It may cost me a bit more than what I normally spend on grocery shopping, but it will certainly be a lot more fun than cooking all the time, and it won’t feel like a diet at all!
