I've decided to start changing my body and toning up. I have about 15-20 pounds to lose.
I don't workout or eat well and I know I just don't feel as great as I could.

I'm going to be studying abroad in Italy for 8 months and you can imagine how scary that can be, regarding how incredible the food is.

I'm aware there is a fresh market everyday and you can pick up some fresh baguettes as well.

What are some certain snacks/fruits/vegetables you would always have on hand?


Thank you

    Well first, most Italians are thin, so even eating mindlessly there will keep you thinner than eating mindlessly here! You can have an espresso or cappuccino, with or without a biscotto, for snacks, and that is only 0-150 calories. After a nice, real Italian dinner, I doubt you would crave anything in the evenings, unless you want a biscotto with either a piece of fruit or glass of wine, and that is only 200 calories.

    Italian bread is heavier and denser than French bread, so take that into consideration. But a small piece with deli coldcuts or cheese is very satisfying, quick and easy, and really not that fattening for a meal when you decide to eat in.
