Starling Fitness: Daily writings on Fitness, Diet, and Health

Part of eating healthy is choosing your treats wisely. I used to save my points for Krispy Kreme donuts and Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups (bite size, not full size). After so many years of eating highly processed and preservative-laden food, I’m not attracted to it anymore. It rarely appeals to me and I can find myself wandering around a convenience store, looking for something to eat. Lately, I have come back to the car empty-handed.

When I have the extra points for a treat, these are the kinds of treats that I want. Small amounts of rich food made with fresh ingredients:

• Slashfood – Food Porn

Even the roasted peppers, which are probably only one or two points a serving, look delicious and decadent. So much of our enjoyment of food is in the presentation. That is part of the reason why food at fine restaurants tastes better. Try to make every meal you eat an entry into the Food Porn category and whatever you’re eating will take on a fullness that you never noticed before.
