I’m an avid dieter, but that’s really only because I’m an avid eater. My love for food is more passionate than I’ve been in some relationships, and that’s okay. Now I write about it and can share my concept of the Top Three.

The Top Three are the very three foods I would choose if I were given only that many to eat for the rest of my life with no detrimental effects on my health or waistline. Yes, I hypothesize random things like this on a semi-regular basis. Judge away. You can justify yours however you want, but here are mine and why I love them so:

1) Movie theater popcorn. I can’t say no. If I go to a movie and don’t overpay for that greasy, glorious popcorn, it’s not a real theater experience for me. I would substitute it for a meal. Clearly this is horrible for you, so my fix when I’m being calorie-conscious is to make 94% fat free and douse it in I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter Spray. If this doesn’t do the trick, and I’m really craving the grease, I’ll sometimes melt light butter/something to the effect of the low fat buttery spreads in a bowl and drizzle over my popcorn. Yes, I’m adding unnecessary fat, but at least I know how much I’m putting in and I’m controlling it. I don’t have one of the oil dispensers in my apartment, and therefore have to behave a little bit.

2) Ice cream. I could probably eat myself sick on Moose Tracks or anything Ben and Jerry’s. Read More »

So I’m on my new fitness kick and I’m always on the lookout for yummy fat-free snacks…well it doesn’t get any better than Wine Cellar Sorbets!

Fat-free and only about 110-120 calories, this sorbet comes in six different flavors like Pinot Noir, Champagne, Riesling and Cabernet Sauvignon. That’s right, the sorbets are made from finished, delicious wines and contain alcohol (up to 5% by volume) and according to the website, “therefore can only be consumed by wine lovers over the age of 21.” Mmmhmm.

Anyway, the sorbet flavors change every season and are based on the vintages, varietals and regions from where the wines were produced. They’re currently sold in stores across New York, New Jersey and Florida and yes, the online store will be up and running very shortly.

A pint costs only $6.99, which is cheaper than an actual bottle of wine anyway. A perfect treat for the upcoming hot months…or when you want to get loaded off your dessert.
