Hello there! This post couldn’t be written any better! Reading this post reminds me of my good old room mate! He always kept talking about this. I will forward this article to him. Fairly certain he will have a good read. Thanks for sharing!

hahahaha laughed the entire time reading this…..yet still educational!!! :)

Cool! I’ve been ordered to go on a strict weight-loss nutrition plan (“diet” to me sounds a lot like die-to-eat!), and have decided to cut the “lavish” out of my lifestyle. That includes eating out. Obviously, it cost me my relationship (whatever!) but now that I can see from your example that I can still eat out even while on a strict routine. Thanks for the advice there, Joel!

My favorite out-to-eat meal is a rocket (arugula) salad, with cherry tomatoes, balsamico and grated parmesan (in larger pieces). It tastes great but is availabe only in some restaurants. Then I will take a chicken steak and no dessert. If I cannot stand the temptation of eating sweet, I will go for 2-3 pieces of dark chocolate (70 or 80% cocoa).

I have been following your CYWT for 3 months already and have noticeable results (though I am only planning to start exercising i.e. so only diet so far).

So, I have the following question: sometimes it might happen that no healthy food is available where I happen to be, just sandwiches and croissants. Then I have to choose from eating unhealthy food or staying hungry. What would be the better option to you?

Would be great to have your opinion!!!

Thanks!

Congrats on all your success! The exercise will surely accelerate things.

You can usually remove the bread from the sandwich…if possible, I’d go that route :)

But Roman is worse.

@Aubreigh Hutchison –

The shake sounds like a great, consistent way to start each day…it’s rather low glycemic, too, so shouldn’t be a problem in the evening…I’d just wouldn’t consume it late, late…around dinner time is OK.

Healthy out to eat meal huh? When I go out, it’s usually on my cheat day but if I’m trying to be ‘good’, I’ll order the salmon/other fish and veggies. I tend to cave on desserts though; a fruit bowl for dessert doesn’t normally cut it for me. I know; I know it’s something I have to work on.

Thanks Joel and keep up with the posts!

My pleasure, and thanks, Les! :)

Awesome advice.

Right on, DC!
