As I mentioned in my Grilled Dijon Tilapia post, I’m doing my very best to stick to a low-fat, low-carb, low-sugar diet. Let me tell you, it’s not as easy as it sounds. I did well even on our short weekend trip to New York City. I stuck to my yogurt and made healthful options. It’s just not much fun. Today, I was craving a big fat burger. Instead of giving up on my diet and giving into temptation, I made a small improvisation. Instead of a fat-laden beef burger I made a lean turkey burger, topped it with fat-free American cheese, ditched the bread and swapped starchy potatoes for canned Sauerkraut. I’m one of the few people I know that actually like Sauerkraut – that’s because it’s basically pickled cabbage, or at least that’s what it tastes like to me.
