Well, you can eat in Charlotte, and you can eat salty too. For the past two nights, I've been faced with menus seemingly designed to raise blood pressure and cholesterol, since most options are fried, salted or fried and salted. When in Flagler Beach, we generally eat at home, where I engage my non-stick skillet and prepare fritattas (egg whites, mostly, with lots of veggies) or my pressure-cooker (beans, vegetables, sometimes fish) and my very favorite (and two-day weekend) pizza with veggies, sardines, and some Parmesean cheese.
But, this is "wing town" for casual dining, and no different from any city where people like to gather after work to share a brew and burger. The good news (and good taste) is that there are options that make it easy to make weight control second nature. Ken and I shared (both nights) the salad, with fish (last night, grilled shrimp & chix; tonight, blackened fish), HOLD the (croûtons yesterday, today the tortilla strips) and balsamic vinaigrette on the side, some extra vinegar, thank you!
was a fun time.
Here's the revelation! Being thin and healthy, eating what you like yet liking yourself, and controlling your weight without fixating on it for the rest of your life is not about natural gifts, but about the gift of knowing how.
