Now let’s talk
🚨🚨EATING OUT!!🚨🚨
EATING OUT!!!
WAIT…. You aren’t perfect?
WAIT….. You ran into something unplanned?
WAIT…. You didn’t get your meal prep done?
WAIT…. You travel for work so you are on the go all the time?
WAIT…. Your friends and family want to go out to celebrate something?
GOOOOOO….. remember we are teaching a lifestyle, NOT a deprivation diet!
We now things happen, things come up and things are out of your control at times! It’s NOT a reason to GIVE UP, it’s a reason to “ADJUST”!
Of course we don’t recommend this all the time….. but these are just some ideas when you find yourself at a restaurant during your 8 day. The sooner you realize you can change your “lifestyle” rather than your “plans” the better you will do long term!
Fajitas are my go to at Mexican restaurants. I ask them to skip the chips and tortillas. I don't even want them on the table. I love lettuce wraps at our local deli/grocery store.
Most places there's a meat plus veggie option or a nice salad(just watch the toppings), keep it simple! Always substitute your fries/potato/bread/grain for something green and low carb!
Wendy's grilled chicken and side salad
chick fil a cobb salad with grilled chicken and ranch! Its amazing and so filling
salads....grilled chicken... fish... with fresh veggies
Taco Tico taco salad for me! (ask for it in a bowl and not the crunchy bowl it comes in)
I usually do Chic-Fil-A grilled chicken nuggets
KFC grilled chicken breast
Arby's rotisserie chicken, broccoli, sweet potato-no butter(if in a pinch on an 8 day). Gotta watch sodium, but better than getting something crazy.
salads with grilled chix (hold the bread and croutons) or a meat dish with veggies on the side..also love places that make breakfast foods loaded omelettes.
Granite City has an amazing Simply Salmon dish that comes with broccoli and rice
Chipotle is another great option burrito with brown rice and chicken
Bella Luna's hummus with cucumbers
Wendy's no bun I feel is the best option. But I have no problem going out to dinner in ordering broiled cod with salad
Chicken sandwiches! Fajitas with no tortilla are my FAVORITE even when not an 8 day!
I went out to Red Lobster the other day (Day 4) and had wood grilled shrimp, salmon, and steamed brussel sprouts...easy peasy
Zaxbys side Caesar lettuce only and 2 dry grilled chopped chicken breasts on the side
Chilis fajitas or sirloin and broccoli
Grilled chicken sandwiches and ask for no bun
Ruby Tuesday spinach salad topped w grilled salmon
Sodium free Mrs Dash taco seasoning, turkey meat, lettuce wrap with some avocado. I didn't eat out but my dinner was BOMB!
Chicken or shrimp fajitas are hard to beat.
I have a chicken burrito made without the tortilla on a plate it's primarily cabbage, cilantro, chicken, and green tomatillo sauce
KFC grilled chicken with double side of green beans
Love me a #12 unwhich from Jimmy Johns!! Usually just order chicken or fish from sit down restaurants with a veggie and no butter!
Chili's....order the 6oz grilled chicken and side salad from the kids menu.
