Ok.....so we're not really going out, but the other day I was watching the TV show "You are what you eat"- and they went out to eat. It was pretty interesting to see how far the presenter went in changing what was on the menu to what she actually wanted, SO....


When you go out do you order directly from the menu, or do you make your own changes? Order on the side dressings, etc...


What's your biggest worry when going out?

Hi, from the other side of cyber space! Apologies for my hat...

Anyway, when I go out, I try to order as the menu is printed but... I ask for salads dry (really bugs wait staff, I think) and to substitute veggies for potatoes, rice or other cards. I am supposed to be watching my carbs (blood sugar issues) so...

It depends on where I'm going but I will often ask for items to be taken off (like olives, etc.) and dressings/sauces on the side.

Ok Amy.... we'll just add olives to our list of items on the side. Apparently we all have a couple of things we definitely do NOT want on our plates lol~ good to see you here :-)
