“Still in the mood for Cuban food apparently. We have this awesome food hall here and my training today was only 5 minutes from it so of course I had to go. I got a bowl with pulled chicken grilled onions black beans tostones and cilantro lime rice. I knew I couldnt eat it all so I concentrated on the chicken onions and beans eating less than 1/2 cup of rice.”

Eating less than 1/2 cup of rice is a smart choice as it helps to minimize the intake of carbohydrates low in fiber”
