Pizza and Beer

Pizza and beer? Really? What in the world does that have to do with living a healthy and fit lifestyle?

Wellness isn’t just about the food we eat or the exercises we do, it’s about joy and loving life, and if pizza is your favorite food, you will be stressed out and miserable when you see it in the grocery store, advertised in magazines, or when you’re out with friends and they order that extra-large, cheesy deliciousness and the server plops it down right in front of you so that the smell of the fresh-baked crust and those fabulous toppings drifts right up your nose!

So, we need to be realistic. Pizza doesn’t have to be on the list of foods you can never indulge in, but you can’t have it every day either. The solution? Eat healthy during the week and splurge on pizza and beer on Friday or Saturday night. Choose a time when you will really enjoy it and you’ll get an enthusiastic, “Go for it!” from me.

The key is to choose healthy foods during the week and keep your portions in check. What a terrific reward. Bada Bing!
