Eating out is one of the hardest parts of my diet. Choosing a dish that will fit into my eating choices and not cause the chef to personally come to my table to murder me is some times tricky. Thankfully i found some tips i thought i'd pass on.
The website Low GI Diet has some great tips. It is SO worth your time. It has easy to follow basic instructions (like avoid or have small portions of high GI foods like potato and rice) and has great specific instructions for when your eating a specific food type, like Indian.
The other thing i add to this, is that i allow myself a little bit of splurging. I try to limit my eating out to less than once a week. Therefore, I'm allowed relax some of my 'rules' but i try to not relax them so far i have to pay interest on the pain it causes later. So while i may allow myself to have rice noodles with vegetables, i tend to skip the desert. Or if i allow myself a desert, my dish is just vegetables.
