The world of gourmet can’t be ignored. After all, eating well is part of the ‘extravagant’ lifestyle. So there’s the £85 (Rs 7,373) McDonald sandwich, which is made with Wagyu beef (Wagyu cattle are raised on a special diet, including beer and grain, and are supposedly massaged with sake to tenderise the flesh), fresh lobe foie gras, black truffle mayonnaise, brie de meaux, rocket, red pepper and mustard confit and English plum tomatoes.

Then there’s the 85 Euros (Rs 4,955) Kobe steak hamburger served at Restaurante Estik in Madrid.

And last, but not the least, the $1,000 (Rs 45,915)"Grand Opulence" sundae sold by New York's Serendipity restaurant. The dessert is made of five scoops of the richest Tahitian vanilla bean ice cream infused with Madagascar vanilla and covered in 23K edible gold leaf. It is drizzled with the world's most expensive chocolate, Amedei Porceleana, and covered with chunks of rare Chuao chocolate. It is also suffused with exotic candied fruits from Paris, gold dragets, truffles and Marzipan Cherries, and topped with a tiny glass bowl of Grand Passion Caviar. It's sweetened and infused with fresh passion fruit, orange and Armagnac and served in a baccarat Harcourt crystal goblet with an 18K gold spoon.

Restaurateurs are not the only people who are using high prices to attract attention. The Blue Bar at the Algonquin Hotel in Manhattan offers a "Martini on the Rock" which starts at $10,000, and includes a diamond of the purchaser's choice. (No one has ordered it yet.) The World Bar in New York's Trump Tower is the home of the $50 martini, a mix of Remy XO and Pineau des Charentes, freshly pressed grape juice, topped with Veuve Clicquot champagne and a touch of 23-karat edible liquid gold. With tax and tip, it will come to about $64. The Fairmont Scottsdale Princess resort in Arizona offers a $57 margarita made with Herradura Seleccion Suprema tequila. But the holder of the Guinness World Record for the most expensive commercially made cocktail goes to the €400 ($489) Ritz Side Car, available at the Hemingway Bar at the Hotel Ritz in Paris. Why the high price? The cocktail contains 1865 Ritz Fine Champagne.

You could just be inherently thin. But the fact that you're tired says you need to slow down a little. Perhaps take a good hour every day to do something you enjoy, and to relax. There is no need to constantly run around (my mom is guilty of doing this). Your diet seems rather bland, though I am envious of the fact you manage to stay away from the sweets. I don't think adding a doughnut will do you any good - there are no nutrients to be gained from eating that. I take a liquid vitamin daily, called Emergen-C - it comes in packet form and has many different flavors. It provides 1,000 mg of vitamin c and 32 other minerals - it helps me a lot. I've been enjoying it for about 10 years now and highly recommend.
