Do You Like Pina Coladas?

Here is the follow up to an earlier blog post mentioned in the title. Yes, I enjoy this refreshing drink! I have tasted virgin and non-virgin forms. Today, I stick with virgin Pina Coladas. I tried Dole's brand, it was very tasty. Unfortunately, the market stop carrying it. Then I heard that young coconuts contain over 50 percent water and blended together with the soft flesh makes a hearty milk. I quickly found the closet market that sold them. I brought one home and prepared my first raw coconut milk. It was heavenly rich. It was so rich I could only drink a half cup every three days, so it spoiled before I could finish it off. That was the end of my attempt to use this method suggested by my friend the Dietitian. I continued my normal eating habits, though I had consumed more carbohydrates since I was pretty active that summer playing over 2 hours of tennis in the morning and running 3-6 miles in the evening four days a week. As a result my weight did even out during the summer months of 2008.
