I am curious as to whether you eat any meals at restaurants on your plan, and how do you manage to stay on plan when doing so? Do you have a strategy?
My strategy is:
DO NOT eat the breadbasket! None!
Have unsweetened iced tea or water with fresh lemon slices to drink.
Order something that has a lot of protein, and go for leaner ones in general, which means usually fish, and sometimes chicken. If I really want a steak I will have that but choose a SMALL steak and ask for it to be cooked with no butter or oil.
Ask for no sauces on the meat, or sauces on the side and then use a small amount.
If the dish comes with fries, potatoes, rice, or pasta, I ask for "double veggies" instead. I ask for them to be steamed with no added butter or salt.
Then I also order a small salad of veggies only, dressing on the side. I dip my fork into the dressing. No croutons or cheese on the salad but I often have blue cheese dressing.
No dessert. (When I have lost more weight I may choose to split something small, maybe fruit based)
This really works for me and I SO enjoy my meals out! Occasionally I might have part of an appetizer, but I make it something low carb like a bit of cheese or some bites of ahi tuna roll.
