"Fav Food Gone Healthy, Healthy Recipes: Part 4

Its summertime and it’s hot as Hades outside, so for the next two to three month let’s enjoy lying by the pool, chilling on the boat and frolicking in the water on the beach. What’s better than a nice cold beverage next to you that’s not going to kill your diet and the hard work you’ve been putting in at the gym? Nothing

This week we’re moving from food to a drink that you will enjoy this weekend. A Salty Chihuahua, yeah we’re having a drink this weekend. Living a healthy and fitness lifestyle doesn’t stop you from enjoy in all of life's pleasures. It makes you aware of all the things you’re put into your body and teaches you moderation. So have a drink, you deserve it after a long week.

"Hey Kool-Aid!" when you're all grown up

Thoroughly enjoying that cosmo, mojito or daiquiri can bring you back to when your parents let you have a can of soda, Capri Sun or a cold, tall glass of Kool-Aid.  It was an occasional treat and, now that you’re all grown up, that’s exactly how you should consume adult beverages.

I mean, what’s more important to you? 6-pack abs or 6-pack Mike’s Hard Lemonade.

Sure, it’s tasty but always remember, we’re all a B.O.O. (Body of One) and it takes some of us a full 24 hours or more to metabolize a single drink!  That heavenly sugar in those colorful drinks turns into FAT once it enters your system.  Hit the gym hard a day after sipping a Long Island Iced Tea and you’ll only be breaking down that L.I.T. instead of those love handles.  Sucks to know you’re giving it all you’ve got but not making any headway.

By no means am I telling you to never have a drink again.  I, myself, take great pleasure in having dinner out with friends with a glass of wine.  What I’m encouraging here is moderation and to be very mindful of the amount and frequency of your Happy Hours.
