Italians like I am eat to live more than we live to eat.
The Mediterranean Diet has been touted since the early 1990s as a healthful eating plan.
The number-one goal in a time of crisis as I see the goal is to keep up eating healthfully consistently every day.
From FreshDirect I order an organic CSA box of Lancaster Farms produce. It costs $39 and contains a mound of cheese and carton of eggs as well as 5 types of produce.
Either stopping eating or eating too much is the drawback in a time of crisis.
So far I’ve snacked my way through 3 bags of potato chips. Yes–you heard me right–3 bags of potato chips in 2 weeks.
I quickly threw out the 3rd bag of chips before it was all gone. The snacks are gone for good. And I won’t be ordering anymore chips at all from the online grocery.
Not bringing junk food into your house in the first place is the foolproof tactic for eating well in a time of crisis.
I’ve learned to cool it out with the chips and the pretzels.
Having breakfast lunch and dinner is imperative when you’re told to shelter in place indoors and not go out.
My goal is to have dinner before nine o’clock at night. Preferably by eight o’clock.
Eggs are great to have for breakfast.
Soup or salads are good to have for lunch.
Dinner can be as simple as turkey or chicken and a vegetable.
I was pleased to find out I could order healthful organic turkey burgers from FreshDirect online. They come in a 4-pack.
The CO-VID19 outbreak is no joke. Stay indoors when you must.
