I'm flying out to Spain for 2 weeks on Thursday and I'm in need of some advice :

What foods should I AVOID ? - Figure it's an easier question than what can I eat LOL

I really don't wanna break my new healthy eating plan, but I also want a great holiday without worrying too much about what I'm eating.

    Did comment on your status but then saw this post...

    I tend to go to Spain 2x a year to see my mum, so I'm well versed in food/diet issues out there!

    1) Avoid the free bread. i'm a devil for filling up on it, especially with the alioli (like garlic mayo but much nicer)
    2) Always get a salad to fill up on
    3) Most tapas are deep fried but prawns in garlic/meatballs are marginally safer
    4) Fresh fish is usually easy to get hold of - try asking for it with veg/salad rather than the inevitable 'patatas fritas'
    5) Paella is actually a good bet - rice and seafood with a few veg thrown in. yes, there's some oil but it's one of the safer options. Plus you can get meat/veggie ones if you're not a fan of seafood.
    6) Don't bother with the desserts...they're rarely worth it!

    Maybe do some swimming/walking to earn some of the treats, as well??

    Enjoy!
