What can I order for beverage in a restaurant? Milk is carb-heavy. I've been ordering cranberry juice, but it's in col. 3 of the AGR. I definitely want a change from water. What can I order (that a restaurant would have)?

Here you go.Originally posted by Pete75What can I order for beverage in a restaurant? Milk is carb-heavy. I've been ordering cranberry juice, but it's in col. 3 of the AGR. I definitely want a change from water. What can I order (that a restaurant would have)?
If you are in OWL and beyond, you can add a glass of wine or beer if you want.Acceptable Beverages
Be sure to drink a minimum of eight eight-ounce glasses of water each day, including:
Filtered water
Mineral water
Spring water
Tap water
Additionally, you can have the following:
Clear broth/bouillon (not all brands; read the label)
Club soda
Cream, heavy or light (limit to two to three tablespoons a day; note carbohydrate content)
Decaffeinated coffee or tea*
Diet soda made with sucralose (Splenda); be sure to count the carbs
Essence-flavored seltzer (must say "no calories" and should not contain aspartame)
Herb tea (without barley or any fruit sugar added)
Lemon juice or lime juice (note that each contains 2.8 grams carbohydrate per ounce); limit to two to three tablespoons~Megs~

Re: Beverage?
Hi Pete,
Are you doing induction, extended induction, somewhere in OWL (ongoing weight loss)?
Sugar free Davinci or Torani syrups are good for an occasional italian soda or coffee drink. Overall, water, water, water is best for you! If you haven't adapted to that yet, drink more water and you will. Sometimes it is an acquired taste for those of us who previously didn't drink enough of it.

Re: Beverage?
I usually order a sparkling water with a slice of lemon or lime and loads of ice.Wondering how to get 'most' of your net carbs from your induction veggies?
Take a look at the thread from the latest Veggie Challenge to see how others manage it!
