Hi everyone, I've recently been attending some birthday parties. My family always goes out to a restaurant to eat on their birthdays. I've thought about not going to these, but I figured it's more externally considerate to go. I've been detoxing through this, but if you're on any of the diets mentioned in this board, it's difficult to eat out.
I think I've done well so far. One time I had a salmon salad. Then I was a little doubtful when we went to a steak house because I'm type A so red meat isn't recommended. I ended up getting roasted chicken and some veggies. Yesterday we went to a Mexican restaurant which again made me a little nervous because it's gluten and dairy galore. So I just ordered some black beans and refried breans, and I brought my own brown rice. I would kind of feel awkward bringing a whole meal of food with me, but my family all knows that I eat differently. I also didn't notice any mental or physical difficulties after eating the food at restaurants like I've heard about in other posts where members have tried something with gluten, sugar, etc.
So I guess there's still the option of bringing a meal if you are able to view the menu before going. I haven't heard many people talk about eating healthily at restaurants, so what are y'all's experiences with this? Do you just not go, or bring your own food?
