Day 17 - No Sweets

breakfast: strawberry-almond smoothie

lunch: deviled egg, avocado, steamed green beans, raw cheese

snack: plum, brazil nuts

dinner: summer minestrone, peach, date

workout: Callanetics 10/10

It's so nice to have so much summer fruit in season finale. So many times a day I can pick so many juicy flavors to explore, each different and exciting. They taste so much better than any cake or cookie. It's definitely easy to avoid sweets at this time of year - produce more than makes up for it. Now, with corn in season sweet foods are everywhere. It should be so easy to lose weight this time of year. Food is so much lighter and healthier. It isn't dense and heavy like winter squashes. It's filled with water and so many flavors, each unique unto itself. Summer is truly a treat for the taste buds.
