Mediterranean Women Stay Slim, Too
Eating to be Sexy, Fit, and Fabulous
Co-owner and executive chef, Primo Restaurant - Melissa Kelly with Eve Adams
I had the pleasure of eating at the Primo Restaurant at the JW Marriott Hotel in Orlando. The food was outstanding and I couldn't resist buying the cookbook. Her Philosophy is so intriguing I felt I had to share it with you. If you would like the book yourself you can find it at www.harpercollins.com.
Here is just a bit of info from the book. Chapter Two: Good Taste-The Slimming Power of High Flavor
'Food and life are inextricably linked. Aristotle, the most famous
Mediterranean philosopher, wrote, "To nurture the soul is to feed it." Right at the crossroads where food and soul meet is vitality, meaning energy, good health, good feeling, a spiritual connection to your life, and a body you feel good to be inside. What are you feeding your soul? Aristotle wrote these words in 350 B.C., proving how essential the food-life link has been for thousands of years in the Mediterranean. To nurture the soul is to feed it, and to feed the body well is to nurture the soul. What do you eat? Do you even know? Mindless eating is a common habit, and most Americans do it to some extent. Entire families are mindlessly eating all the time. Women eat on the go just like they put their makeup on while driving. They eat while watching television, or walking to work. Women eat while sitting in front of their computers, surfing the Internet for entertainment, or they snack while working at the computers in their offices. A lot of women spend their lunch hour working and eating at the same time. Contrary to what you may think, really wonderful tastes help you eat less, not more. When we eat, we seek energy, of course, but we also seek pleasure. When our pleasure if fulfilled, we are fulfilled and can stop eating. But if we aren't getting pleasure from our food, we keep on eating (searching) to find that pleasure. And we eat too much.'
