Once upon a time, there was a woman named Eve, who, unable to resist the luring temptation of a fragrant orchard, took a bite of forbidden fruit from the tree of knowledge. Perhaps Eve was bored. Perhaps she was ovulating and had a desperate craving for something sweet. Perhaps life in the little garden was becoming stressful or claustrophobic. Perhaps she felt out of control or lacked passion in her life and in order to numb her emotions or soothe herself from Adam's lack of attention or his ambivalence in starting a family, she chose to indulge. Perhaps Eve was an emotional eater. But as Eve soon discovered, neither the bite, nor the whole fruit fulfilled her as she had hoped. Not only did she realize she was naked but that she had contempt for the way she looked. Perhaps Eve suffered with body dismorphia. Eve tried to stop eating the forbidden fruit and eventually avoided eating altogether but that didn't work and she ended up eating until she could no longer breathe. The point of this is that Eve lost her intuitive ability to nourish herself. She no longer had balance in her life and was willing to do any and everything to get that back. Eating Clean While Traveling
Lunch
This is an example of one of my favourite lunches prepared for me by the hotel. Here in Cuba, there is access to some incredible fresh and local fish here and I have been enjoying a ton of fresh vegetables with about 4oz of fresh fish.
The fresh vegetable options that are available here are:
Cucumbers
Tomatoes
Okra
Green Beans
Squash
Onions
Cabbage purple and white
Brussel Sprouts
Broccoli
Cauliflower
When you travel, it is important to source out which vegetables you can find fresh rather than frozen or canned. Because of the embargo with the USA, Cuba is really limited for fresh vegetables and much of the food comes frozen or canned in brine, however, visiting local markets can give you a great idea as to what is available.
