AmyS Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 I've been eating mostly Whole30 for a little over a year. But usually I ditch Whole30 when it comes to eating out, because it just seems like too much work. Also, I almost never eat out, so it's not that big of a deal. I'm really not a fan of eating out, ever, at all, so it's not one of those issues that looms large in my life. And I don't have any conditions that flare up into disaster with one non-compliant meal, fortunately. So on rare occasions where I have to eat out, I don't try to Whole30 it. But - Tonight I went to a Japanese restaurant where they serve a large salad of local greens and fresh veggies with every meal. I got plain broiled salmon and a double salad (no dressing). I didn't ask how the salmon was prepared, but once I tasted it, I realized it didn't have soy or sugar or MSG in it. This means I actually got a compliant meal in a restaurant! Now, it was way more boring than meals I make myself, but the greens were local and fresh and the salmon wasn't horrible. I figure I could've done worse. I came back home and had a side dish incorporating more veggies and fat though. It's so odd how my views have changed over the last year. I used to think that eating in restaurants would mean I would eat better than if I cooked at home - even though I rarely ate at restaurants. Now I really prefer my own cooking to anything I eat at a restaurant. Who knew? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mom2A&M Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 Haha,I just attempted eating out too! It was great. The place was called Bonefish Grill. I had dry grilled tilapia and a bed of greens. Waitress brought my own olive oil and lemons. Surprisingly delicious! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmyS Posted March 9, 2014 Author Share Posted March 9, 2014 Haha,I just attempted eating out too! It was great. The place was called Bonefish Grill. I had dry grilled tilapia and a bed of greens. Waitress brought my own olive oil and lemons. Surprisingly delicious! That's great - mine was not delicious. But it was compliant. And reasonably fresh (especially the greens). I really think that unless I start bringing along my own seasonings and oils and vinegars, eating out is just not going to be a tasty experience for me. However, as I said in my OP, I really do like my own cooking - and who the heck knew THAT would ever happen??!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
