 Re: Ethnic food restaurants...choices?? | |
Sushi is not a good idea because it comes with rice. Sashimi should be okay.
For Mexican food, you could order fajitas (no tortillas). And a salad maybe, but check what's in it and tell them to leave out the ingredients you can't eat. Avoid dressings too---you can bring your own, like the kind they sell in individual packets.

"The truth is that temptation lurks everywhere, unless you deny yourself a social and working life and the attendant pleasures of eating out. I believe that the best way to overcome temptation is not with willpower, which is so often in short supply, but with our brain power, a potentially unlimited resource.
Imagine that you're doing great, losing weight, feeling better than ever, thrilled with yourself, hearing compliments from friends and acquaintances---and then it happens! Despite all your good intentions, you're mightily tempted by a food you're not supposed to have. What to do? I'll tell you this: You'd better have a strategy ready!"
