If YOU are happy eating the way you are without the salt, sugar, etc., then keep doing that! Does it hurt anyone else that you aren't eating those things? Do you rub it in people's faces when they eat those things? No? Then again, I say, "Why fix what's not broken?" :)Clairehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11073494749323285769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1029964109647399617.post-62516052925756125242011-03-01T07:45:33.331-06:002011-03-01T07:45:33.331-06:00Or, you could reframe it like this: "Yes, I c...Or, you could reframe it like this: "Yes, I can eat those samples. but I don't want them right now because I prefer not to eat salt and sugar. I think I'll HAVE ONE SMALL TASTE so I know what they are like and then I can try to make something like this at home - without the salt and with dates instead of honey." <br /><br />So rather than eating two, eat one nibble and say, nah it isn't worth the effort to try to create on my own, or yeah I like this and I'm going to try to recreate it.<br /><br />There was an edamame salad I was eyeing up at the local deli counter and so one day I asked for a spoonful to taste & for them to run me a label so I could see the ingredients. Predictably it had some sesame oil way down on the list. I liked it, so I ordered one half scoop (came to less than 1/4 lb.) to have something on hand to compare to my homemade version. Then I went home and made a facsimile which tasted close, and in the end I threw away the scoop but I'd had it on hand if I wanted to compare. My husband thinks I am a nut.<br /><br />I love eating in restaurants so I make allowances there and have gotten really good at say no oil or added salt when ordering vegetables - but mostly I stick with large salads because it is really easy to avoid most oil and salt that way. I will hopefully have more in-depth thoughts to share later.Hollynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1029964109647399617.post-4411285701915739762011-02-28T18:55:11.846-06:002011-02-28T18:55:11.846-06:00Oh, yes, I was there this weekend.

Sugar and salt and oil...I rationalized...I can do this because I am so good most the time. Ha! I guess my personality is the A+ type and so is my body....speaking of intake and not gorgeousness.
