Today I started the journey trying to figure out what I can eat if I need or want to dine out. Of course this has nothing to do with the core of the plan, but I need to start thinking about this. I think for the most part the day to day eating will be simple, but I will need to plan at least a day ahead. I will also need to limit my trips to the store mainly because bad carbohydrates will call my name upon entry to any grocery establishment.
I decided that it will be nearly impossible to eat out and avoid salt so I will pretend I didn't actually ingest any salt and just focus on the other portions of the diet. I can eat Thai food. Yum. I will have to skip the rice, but I have done that before and I will have to ask for cashews instead of peanuts. I will have salad if necessary, but I will skip the dressing. I could opt for some lemon wedges or just go plain. I could do the unthinkable and opt for a bun less burger, but that isn't really a burger it's just a slab of meat. Of course fries are out and although fries aren't amazing by themselves and are only made truly good based on what is cascading over them in form of fatty, sweet, salty dips and sauces, I think the burger joints are out. Sorry Red Robin, I can't deny your sauces. I will have to stay away.
I think I will have the hardest time staying away from Starbucks. I can deal with not having frothy goodness in the morning, but I often find myself at Starbucks, Tully's or any coffee stand on the weekend. Unless the world can create a sugarless, fat less, non dairy coffee that isn't processed, I will have to stop visiting latte land.

Why do you have to substitute cashews for peanuts? As your biggest stalker, I also would like to request a post on why you chose this specific diet. It seems overly complicated.
ReplyDeletePeanuts are legumes and not nuts or seeds. I can't eat any legumes, aka beans.
ReplyDeleteI will send a follow up the second part of your comment.
