Drink Your Carbs Travel
Travel With Us to Any of These Destinations:
At home, adhering to Drink Your Carbs is easier. You control your purchases at the grocery and liquor stores. When you eat at home there is no excuse for not eating healthy foods and drinking mixer-free drinks. On the road, however, all diets become more difficult. Travel often means being faced with a series of poor choices.
Fact: In some cities, even the salad comes breaded and deep-fried.
Strange bars in unfamiliar towns tempt you with impossibly cheap drink specials mixed in primary colors and served in tall, seductive glassware. These are drinks specially designed to appeal to the same parts of the brain that attract magpies to bright, shiny objects. Sometimes those evil bastards even let you keep the glass as a souvenir, bringing together the deadly combination of eye-catching dyes, our addiction to sugar and our general fondness for anything free.
On the road, temptations are everywhere. This is entirely by design. Wherever you are in the world you can be assured that the local Chamber of Commerce has conspired with the City Council and local businesses to find ways to fill your belly and empty your wallet. They have full-time employees whose job it is to be the tiny devil standing on your shoulder whispering bad ideas. If their seduction fails, they simply do more market research until they find some newer, more compelling combination. Somewhere in the world there is a team of food scientists trying to figure out how to serve a piña colada in a glass made out of a funnel cake.
