Instead of rice or potatoes, restaurants, etc.
Hi, Everyone! Not quite "beach" weather here in Boston (except in my HEAD, that is). Lost 2 lbs. back on Phase I of SBD last week, despite going off plan a bit on Saturday and Sunday. Started working out again, too.
I've found that most restaurants are very accommodating when you tell them you are on a low carb diet. For example, I was at a restaurant last night and the choice was grilled mahi-mahi (fish) with some kind of rice. I just told them I was on low carb so could I have vegetables instead and they brought me a large serving of steamed broccoli! It was great! I sympathize with the lady from California who is used to Japanese food with lots of rice. I am used to lots of rice too (Middle Eastern and Greek cooking) and I hated to give it up. I'm fairly used to it now, though, mainly because I LOVE vegetables! Lots of places will give you a side salad instead of potatoes or rice also. It's been working out fine so far.
Have a great day, all! (carole)
