Greetings from that classy, refined, cultured part of the United States called Atlantic City. Well, one walk down the boardwalk and it is quite a show...lots of entertainers seeking money for their buckets as they play the drums on cans, sing songs off key, and most just beg for the money...very sad to see the number of homeless people on the boardwalk.
What is amazing to me is that the boardwalk doesn't collapse. Every step along the way are pizza places, ice cream, funnel cakes, sausage sandwiches, Phillie Cheesesteak, etc etc. I have never seen more calories available for the asking and more overweight people partaking of the sinful pleasures.
I suppose every beach venue is similar in its culinary choices, and I guess the purpose of this blog is to remind everyone taking a beach vacation to eat your meals and snacks BEFORE walking down any strip that will have every few feet horrendous food choices beckoning you. As children we all have great memories of having our parents buy us at the beach the high-caloric "treats" that made us feel so good. Carrying this forward to adulthood will most certainly derail our efforts to lose the weight we would like to make us happier and healthier. Choose the high protein/high vegetable meals at restaurants in your hotel or if you are renting a condo, prepare your meals so as not to feel hungry when on that boardwalk.
