I had dinner out at a restaurant today for the first time since starting induction,I thought there might be a problem from the offset as our waitress struggled when i said id have an iced water, "you mean ice? or tap water?" "both, ideally" "oh ok i'll bring you both, and here she arrived with a glass of ice and a glass of water! lol... anyway i thought i chose well from the carb-laden menu and picked cajun chicken with a mixed side salad.. i figured all that the cajun could be would be spices and hardly any sugar as its not a very sweet seasoning like chinese or anything.. my lordy what arrived on my plate was less than impressive.
A mountain of chopped salad vegetables, it looked like theyd let an angry kid hack it to pieces and it laden with some sort of dressing which i DIDNT ask for! nor did it say it would come with it on the menu. And a tough as old boot piece of chicken, not to mention a super-size serving of school-dinner like peas. Anyway i tasted my chicken and it was sooooooooooo hot
i couldnt taste another thing but as everything else was covered in dressing i ate it and polished off my water. I ate about a quarter of a tomato that was hiding under a lettuce leaf and so wasnt drenched in dressing and then i swapped my boyfriend for some salad he had but my oh my i was disappointed. I was full though after i ate my chicken and the salad i did eat so i didnt feel hungry just a bit disappointed that it was totally crap!
To top it all off we went to a bar for a couple drinks *i had water with a wedge of lime* and sat down and just out of curiosity i checked the menu and they do "extra low carb" sirloin steak salad which was about £4 cheaper than my meal
lesson learned there then!!!
Oh and i didnt feel a bit envious of my boyfriend who sat and eat an entire plate of nachos with cheese salsa and olives to himself then scoffed curly fries with a bbq cheese quarter pounder and a huge serving of coleslaw!!
heheh thankyou dr atkins!!!!
