Restaurant News...

I've been on a health food kick lately, which isn't as bad as it sounds. I am eating vegetables, fruits, salads and (my mainstay) meat much more often than I was last year and I have lost a total of 8.5 lbs this year. My goal is 20 lbs by the end of March. Much of this focus on eating healthy is primarily because my wife is so limited as to what she can eat. She is told by one doctor to eat more protein, by another that she needs to add carbs, and another that tells her to watch her sodium and potassium levels. We actually have to laugh at times because one doctor will add a food to her diet, the next doctor will tell her to stay away from that very same food. I've also been drinking a lot of water which (at the very least) helps me maintain a full stomach. Since I am being much more cognizant of what I am eating, I'm also checking carbs and calories of what I enjoy eating and have discovered that the burgers at most sit down restaurants are up to 2,000 calories and filled with all kinds of fat. What a bummer! Now what am I supposed to eat when I go out? I guess its just steak and salads for me (what a shame).
