Carolyn O’Neil reveals easy-to-follow secrets to staying slim in the land of bacon, butter, and biscuits. Carolyn’s strategies for success include:
- Savor the South. Explore and embrace the variety of genuine Southern ingredients, from greens and black-eyed peas to sweet potatoes and shrimp.
- Linger longer. The Southern lifestyle is about enjoying food and the people you share it with. Take time to appreciate each bite and the beauty around you.
- Indulge a little. It’s not all about deprivation, darlin’. Splurge a little now and then with a reasonably sized treat, whether it’s Banana Pudding or a Mint Julep.
