BOB'S RESTAURANT TIPS
FAST FOOD
It can be done. You can figure out a way to eat
healthy at a fast food restaurant. These days every
fast-food place has salads, so here's what to do:
Order one or even two salads if you are hungry and
your favorite burger or sandwich "without the bun" and
make yourself a big salad with plenty of protein from
your sandwich.
It makes a difference. You will feel full and you have
avoided the fries and the buns. As far as the salad dressing,
you get two tablespoons of whatever it is you want and toss the rest.
If salads aren't your thing, fine, go with your sandwich,
without the bun and absolutely no mayo or special
sauce of any kind. Hold off on the cheese and stay
away from the fries and you could make it work. If
it's fried, look away.
Grilled chicken is always on menus now.
Stay away from the fish, because it's probably fried.
I know you like the fries, I do too, but we are on a mission to lose
weight and those fries are only going to get in the
way of our progress.
CHINESE
Chinese food is so good and SO FATTENING!! Here's
the drill, it can be done.
Anything you want on the menu MUST be steamed!
Whatever sauce comes with what you want,
ask for it on the side and you get two
tablespoons of it. You will get the taste you are
looking for, but you have the control of how much
sauce goes on it.
After you have put the two tablespoons on,
have the waiter take it away to avoid any
"dipping." You won't feel deprived,
because it will taste like you want it but your food
won't be drowning in it.
Remember, Chinese = steamed!
Then your options are boundless on the menu. Stay
away from the white rice and words like "stir-fried" or
"egg roll" and by all means absolutely no FRIED RICE!!
ITALIAN
This can be a little tricky because when you go to an
Italian restaurant you are probably in the mood for
pasta or pizza. Well you can't, sorry.
Go to the entrees and stick with all the protein like: fish,
chicken or red meat. Request the veggies (steamed)
and the sauce that would be put on the veggies or
protein, you guessed it, "on the side".
Get that bread basket out of arms reach and you can ultimately
make it work at your favorite Italian place. Try
getting a small side of their pasta sauce when you
are there and put two tablespoons on your main meal.
You will get that Italian taste that you want. It's a good little trick
and it does work for fulfilling a craving.
MEXICAN
First tell the waiter to not bring those chips to your
table! I love them and could eat every basket they
bring to me....STAY AWAY.
Instead place an order for corn tortillas and dip them into your salsa.
It is the same thing as the chips except not fried and it
will satisfy that craving of wanting to dip.
Instead of refried beans ask for black beans, no sour cream,
no guacamole, no flour tortillas, no crispy taco
shells. Okay, now that we have gone through all the
NOs let's go to what you can order.
Fajitas are a great choice since the meat will be grilled and your
veggies are included. Burritos without the flour
tortilla of course. Tacos can also be ordered if you
just get the insides of them.
Many times I will order three or four tacos,
beef or chicken and combine the insides
of all of them on a big salad and bam! There you go.
a big taco salad without anything crunchy except the
lettuce.
No salad dressing required in a Mexican
restaurant, because you have all that good
salsa....Ole'!
