Thread: Any tips for week 1 of Induction?

Welcome, Jennifer.

Eating out is certainly possible and, with experience, becomes no big deal. Burgers without the bun, salads with ham or chicken, are the first things that come to mind.

The other possibility is getting a cooler and bringing the food of your choice to your job sites. This could work out well if you have a day off every so often to prepare food in advance.

I'm sure you'll get other suggestions as well.

decaf iced green tea with a splash of splenda has saved my life. gives me just enough sweet to kill any cravings. I only have one glass but its just enough and I drink it when i really need it.

Salads are great when eating out, and so is Steak with veggies!

Jen, do bring some salad makin's along with your cold cuts and cheese! You can throw together a chef's salad in a minute - especially if you buy the greens that come in a bag, already cut up. I do this a lot, since I almost always bring my own lunch to work. (make sure you bring the dressing in a separate container, then your greens won't get wilted before you're ready to eat. )

I know you'll get other suggestions in this thread, so check in from time to time. Many of our members log in about once a day, so it sometimes takes a couple of days to get more input.

preparation is everything also, if you are eating out, having your mind made up on what to order before you go in should help you make good choices.
