 Re: what is donar kebab meat? | |
I've been to a Turkish high school and they used to give us doner kebab all the time.
Since it's a Turkish recipe, the meat is never pork. At our high school they used lamb. There are two ways you can make the meat - roasted & sliced (this is traditional) or grounded & fried. The sliced one is Atkins-friendly. The grounded one... it depends. If prepared traditionally it's just meat. However, I have seen the one they sell in hipermarkets and it's sometimes combined with bread crumbs (cheaper I guess). So you have to take care with that.
If you buy kebab from a fast food, you should ask if they use carrots. Some kebab recipes ask for them.

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!"
