H there, Pearl and Serene!! I'm new to the plan (loving it, by the way)and I was wondering if you had any other tips and thoughts about eating out, besides what you mentioned in the book. Thanks! -TrimHeathyBaby (LOL)

I'm not Serene or Pearl, but I have eaten out 2x since starting THM 2.5 weeks ago. On both occasions I ate a burger with bacon, cheese, and all the veggies - just no bun. I also substituted a salad for the fries and cole slaw options.
At the the 99, they were awesome about the side salad. She came back out and said "you probably don't want croutons on your salad since you don't want any bread? would you like me to put some fresh grated Parmesan on that?" The salad turned out awesome.
I had a coffee while others enjoyed their desserts knowing that I had several yummy dessert options available at home.
Easy-peasy:-)

I have eaten out several times since starting the plan. Some on plan, some not. Having a nice dessert at home really helps me resist that temptation. I love dessert. I also love sodas. I try to avoid ordering things I will feel like I just have to have a soda with. I am not a coffee drinker but I often used a warm herbal tea when hungry at home between meals. I think I might start doing that at resturants too.

I have eaten out a few times since THM. One time I had the burger without the bun, broccoli and salad. Another time I had salmon, broccoli and salad. A turkey wrap eaten without the wrap. Salad and pizza toppings (scraped off the crust). I always seem to find broccoli and salad as the only acceptable veggie side!

I had scallops and shrimp the other night with a side of veggies and a salad. My hubby who isn't on board (yet ) had the loaf of bread they left before his dinner. Oh boy!
