Broccoli Backlash

Talked to a friend at work who declared that she was officially on the "eating healthy" train.

She also said that after working through too much raw broccoli, eating cucumber slices almost seemed like a treat.

That cracked me up.

It's true ... in the beginning when I was eating more raw veg than anything else, I positively craved different flavors, textures and temperatures. It's funny how sweet a carrot or red pepper can taste after a whole bunch of celery or cauliflower. Or how much you can enjoy the "snap" of a cherry tomato or red grape when it pops between your teeth. Or how silky and decadent the whipped light yogurt or the chocolate-raspberry variety feels in your mouth.

Vary it so you don't get sick and tired of it all. You need to keep it interesting so you don't quit.
