I only wish I'd read your article before going to Italy. I spent one month in Italy and gained 7lbs!!!! Is that normal? Well, I will tell how it happened. I have always maintained an okay figure but with great effort, I have cut on all the junk food and sweets and in Italy I just had no control. As you say, most restaurants only served pasta and pizza and after a certain hour it was only pizza. But their pizza is heavenly, oh my Lord have mercy, I don't even eat pizza here in Canada but in Italy I was craving it every day! And every day I would say that is it but then I would not resist the next day...They get this huge, really gigantic thin crust pizza with cheese melting and whatever else you wish...my mouth waters just thinking about it!!! And the pastas were divine, some were homemade, more expensive but worth it.... as for dessert, you gotta try the Tiramisu in Italy, and every single day I had to have Gelato ice cream....I mean, it is in your face, on every corner, every mouth is holding a cone and licking...so When in Rome...! Yummy, the flavors! Okay, I have to say, few menus did offer chicken, but it was a small portion and more expensive...As for the salad, it is good to have as an appetizer but not enough to keep you going for many hours when you are on vacation.... Anycase, anyhow, I do find your articles helpful and will follow your food eating habits when I go out with my friends here in North America! Wow!
