I am starting to get the hang of "the business lunch." In my early WW days I dreaded having to meet with people over meals.
I have figured out a strategy:
1. Ask for your salad dressing on the side.
2. Divide your plate in 1/2 and only eat from 1/2 of the plate
3. Have the wait staff remove your plate immediately after you have finished eating
4. Skip the dessert
5. Drink water with lemon
6. Pass the nearest bread basket around the table and away from you
Sounds easy but it takes a lot of practice. Tip: Order broiled fish or baked chicken. These are generally safe options. Be careful with salad. A lot salads are packed full of hidden calories (like Houston's traditional salad /bacon, regular cheese, croutons and eggs. Squid, Seaweed Octopus salads are yummy but both have at least 500 mg per serving. I will save these salads for a special occasion.
Hang in there and work the lunch strategy,
Have a Veggie Good Day,
