I got today’s subject line from the ETL support group. Sometimes you need to just do it. The phrase suits. It has been cold and rainy in L.A. again. I find it extremely difficult to eat well when I’m cold and damp. I crave hot starchy carbo-licious things with lots of sugar. This round of chilly Southern California winter has been particularly tough. The heat in my office has been wonky. I get super-chilled and no cup of tea in the universe is warming enough.
I’ve been eating a lot of oatmeal. Too much for me, really. I am sensitive and oatmeal brings on carb cravings with a high intensity. Even when I do it raw style (soaking groats, blending the resulting sprouts in my Blend-Tec).
The best piece of advice I’ve gotten is to grab a bag of greens and hang on. Sooner or later the beans’n'greens will win out over the starchier carbs. Or the weather will get warmer and it will get easier.
