Like many people, we find it hard to eat sparingly. When we reached thirty-five, we couldn’t help but put on pounds—and forty was worse. With our love of cooking and all the exciting developments in the culinary world in the past decade or so, we had no desire to diet. We wanted to be able to eat chèvre soufflés with garlic and sun-dried tomatoes, curries with coconut milk and Thai basil, gingerroot cheesecake, and chocolate. We found that running three to four miles (thirty minutes) every day enables us to eat what we like and still stay fit; an hour of serious gardening every day can have the same effect.
