NEW YEAR FITNESS SOLUTION IN JUST TWO WORDS
Yesterday, I told you about the brilliant personal trainer Henry Barratt and how his surprisingly gentle encouragement was inspirational to someone like me, who was feeling particularly sluggish after Christmas.I promised that I would pass on the second part of his philosophy - which would help you attain the physique you've always wanted.Simples!No bread.No potatoes.No rice.No pasta.In other words: NO CARBS!(And if you are blanching in horror - as I did - then I must inform you that apparently, we get all the carbs we need from fruit and vegetables!).
So I have just cleared out the last of seasonal fare like this:
To be replaced with stuff like this.
Interestingly, I bought this delicious, locally-grown radicchio in a small Umbrian supermarket and then found zillions of recipes for it in a translation of an Italian cookery book. The Italians are very imaginative with their vegetables. I baked it with a teeny drizzle of oil, salt and pepper and finished it off with a squeeze of lemon juice.
But I am no longer in Italy but at home, and working - so I must go and speak to Tariq - who is my latest outrageously macho Sheikh hero. Outside, it's grey and damp and I'm in need of inspiration - so tell me what's happening in your day.
