Health & Lifestyle
My doctor just told me I need to lose 40 pounds or I'm looking at diabetes and heart problems. The thing is, I LOVE food. Cooking is my hobby, eating out is my social life, and wine is my way of unwinding. I've tried diets before. They make me miserable. I spend all day thinking about what I can't eat. Food stops being pleasurable and becomes the enemy. I lose 15 pounds, feel deprived and joyless, then gain back 20. My wife says I need to learn "moderation." My doctor says I need to treat food as "fuel, not entertainment." But food IS entertainment to me—it's culture, connection, art. Can I save my health without killing my joy? Or do I have to choose between a longer life and a life worth living?
