Давайте побалуем себя обедом в морском ресторанчике. Я хочу настоящего пира. Мне хочется отведать жареный кальмар, вареных омаров, сырых мидий, свежих крабов и супа из акулы. Конечно, это дело вкуса, но морепродукты – моя любимая еда. Я угощаю.
Многие специалисты не советуют питаться в ресторанах быстрого питания, а есть полезную пищу. Ваш стол должен быть разнообразен и питателен. Нужно кушать много овощей, зелени, творога и других молочных продуктов. Если вы хотите похудеть, необязательно садиться на диету, просто забудьте про приправы: горчицу и перец. Вместо растительного масла пользуйтесь яблочным уксусом. Десерты теперь тоже не для вас, вам лучше поесть черешни или ананаса, они сладкие, но от них не потолстеешь.
Лена всегда одевается очень просто, но со вкусом. Даже ее квартира обставлена со вкусом. Там достаточно мебели, но она вся простая. Лена даже говорит простым понятным языком.
Он заболел. Его лечат постельным режимом и лекарствами. Все за него переживают, а он замечательно проводит время. К нему теперь особое отношение. Однако, не носите ему вкусных блюд, у него особый режим питания.
