The South Florida (Cuban) Diet

The South Florida (Cuban) Diet

Breakfast:

Café con Leche: Breakfast is the most important meal of the day and we begin it with the drink of generations. Café con Leche, the life's blood of the Cuban breakfast. Must use whole milk. Nothing will jump start your metabolism quicker than caffeine and calcium. Café con leche is to the Cuban child what a triple-shot, double vanilla nonfat mocha latte dark is

to a member of corporate America.

Cuban Tortilla: (not to be confused with a Mexican tortilla): Cubans will take beaten eggs, add anything they could find in the " Frigidaire " , fry it up in a pan and call it a tortilla. Then they will take this egg concoction and put it between two eight inch slices of Cuban bread (cannot

be substituted by whole wheat bread) and call it Pan con Tortilla

(Carbohydrates, Protein, Starch and Cholesterol all rolled up into

something that gives you more energy than the strongest protein power bar.

Note: It is a proven fact that when you combine carbohydrates, protein,

fat, starch and cholesterol in just the right combination, they all

counteract each other and have absolutely no detrimental effect on the

human body. Of course, that human body has to be Cuban.

We know this to be true "Porque en Cuba, nadie padecia de colesterol !"

LUNCH & DINNER:

RICE: Every meal must contain rice. Rice a great source of fiber, is low in fat, has no cholesterol and is rich in Vitamin B1, B6, and B12. So what if it has carbs. Remember, Dr Atkins se murio por no comer arroz. Add Aceite de Oliva to add flavor and make it shine (it's cholesterol free.)

BEANS: High in protein and fiber, Black Beans contain the highest level of

Iron than any other bean followed by lentejas, chicharos y frijoles

colorados. It compliments rice like Jamon does queso, Yucca does mojo, or

Celia does Salsa music.

PLATANO MADURO: A mainstay in the South Florida Diet. This will surprise you. Plantains contain 8 vitamins and 7 minerals. High in Vitamins A and C

as well as Potassium, 4g of Fiber and 2.5g of

protein per serving . Second helping anyone?

MEAT: Ropa Vieja, Palomilla Steak, Picadillo, and Boliche are all

ATKINS-friendly. Eat to your heart's delight.

CHICKEN & FISH: Even Atkins didn't complain about these. Approved by

Jenny Craig, Weight Watchers, and countless other diet gurus.So serve

yourself a mountain of Arroz con Pollo or a second helping of Pollo Frito. Y no hay nada mas rico que un pargo (Red Snapper) frito. Los camarones

vienen del mar tambien, so they must be good for you, too.

DESSERT:

GUAVA: Guayaba is a fruit, fruits are an important part of any diet,

Mango, Papaya, Guanabana, etc. Guayaba is rich in Vitamin A and C and high in fiber, 9 grams! Add a little dairy (cream cheese) and you have a great

dessert.

FLAN: You may incorporate Flan into your diet after week 2. Similar to crème brulee or natilla, Flan is a gift from Heaven that, along with a

cafecito cubano, provides a quick energy boost after any meal .

LECHE CONDENSADA: Ah! Dairy's Best, the Queen of Dairy, a Beautiful

elmer's glue concoction created by man but sweetened by God. Created with the purpose to mix with other ingredients, like Malta or Pepsi, to make a heavenly creation. Medically a necessary component of the diet in order to

prevent your blood sugar level from getting too low.

SNACKS:

ESPRESSO: Ah, cafecito cubano! It runs through the veins of Cubans

everywhere. Good at any time. It increases the metabolism so that you burn more calories. If taken while smoking a big "tabaco" on any corner of

Calle Ocho, the effect is doubled.

PASTELITOS: You may slowly include these into your diet on week 4.

Pastelitos, brazo gitanos, merenguitos, éclairs, etc. Limit 1 per day as

they are very addictive.

MOJITOS: A great happy-hour favorite. No Fat, No Cholesterol!

EXCERCISE

For the South Florida (Cuban) Diet or any diet to be effective, you must

incorporate excercise as part of your daily routine. Therefore, we

recommend the following program:

Every Morning: Walk back and forth to and from your radio to change the dial between "El Mikimbin De Miami" and "El Vacilon De la Manana" Do this at least 5 times every 15 minutes before going to work. The walking and

the laughing will really get your blood circulating!

Monday: Pick up Abuela at her "Plan Ocho" apartment, take her to 1) pick up her "checquecito"at the welfare office 2) pick up her "sellitos" at the food stamp office 3) take her to lunch with her amigas at "el comedor de los viejitos" 4) to the doctors office for treatment of various ailments ranging from "unos mareos que no me dejan vivir" to "gastritis aguda"

(flatulence) and finally 5) go to the pharmacy to get her medications for colesterol, la presion (alta o baja), los dolores, etc. This is a workout

any way you look at it.

Wednesday: Dance classes at "Salsa Lovers" to learn how to dance Salsa, Casino, Rueda, Bachata and, of course, Reggaeton! 2 hours of this and your metabolism is through the roof, especially if you are "pegando un tarrito" with one of the other students and you are "sudando la gota

gorda" because your spouse may find out. This is an intense workout for

the heart.

Friday: Happy hour at Alcazaba, Mystique, La Covacha, Cafe Cristal or any of the other watering holes that play salsa music. Remember to do that new step you learned Wednesday and drink plenty of mojitos to stay hydrated during this rigorous round of dando muela, echando un pie and walking

outside several times to talk on your cell phone because adentro no se oye

nada!

Saturday: Grocery Shopping at Sedano's. Make sure that you walk up and down every aisle at least twice and don't forget any of the your diet

staple foods. Don't run out of platanos, cascos de guayaba, laticas de

salchichas vienna, mojo criollo and cerveza Llave (Becks).

Sunday: Go to church at La Ermita De La Caridad. You will have to park very far away and walk about 3 miles across the parking lot because every Sunday "estan celebrando una misa especial" for whatever Saint whose day it happens to be. If you are lucky, you will get there in time for the

"procesion" to burn extra calories.

Let me repeat myself cause apparently u didn't understand or you are going through a bout of ADD. Vic knows that I was playing around with you and I will continue your lead in whatever you post here. If it seems like drama to the rest, I believe it just makes more interesting. I will say, it does get boring in here sometimes. Is that a problem with you Funk? That I know of, I was not PMSing it was pure jodiendo.
