Knowing that you should avoid certain food is not the same thing as not wanting a certain food (cue bread cravings.) The mind is a very strong thing. You can try all of the tricks- exercise, drink water, leave your house, etc, but every once in a while your brain just doesn’t quit. That’s how I felt last week (yes, dietitians have cravings and struggles too). I wanted a BLT sandwich. Really wanted one. So I did the most logical thing I could like of….I had a BLT…without the bread…plus some other yummy ingredients. Lo and behold, my craving was satisfied. If you are a BLT lover and a salad lover, then you will love this BLT Chopped Salad.
