Tips for Eating Out on Reboot21
We realize the likelihood of eating three home-cooked meals a day is pretty slim in this day and age. So with Reboot21, instead of giving you overwhelming, unrealistic rules to follow, we have built in some flexibility with breakfast, lunch, and snacks as well as left one night open for leftovers or eating out. With the following tips we want to equip you and empower you to make Dr. Brown approved food choices all day long and encourage a healthier relationship with food.
- Ask your server for a gluten-free menu as many restaurants have one
- Order off of the grill menu selecting Dr. Brown approved sides (i.e. sweet potatoes instead of white potatoes)
- Opt for a salad as most can be easily modified to be Dr. Brown approved (i.e. subbing goat cheese for parmesan, olive oil and vinegar for dressing, etc.)
- Be aware of sauces as many are full of sugar and unwanted ingredients. Sub butter or olive oil for flavor instead.
- Think simple. You are basically looking for meat, vegetables, and healthy fats only. If it comes from the earth, it is probably something you can eat! If it is a processed man-made product, it is likely a no-no.
- Find restaurants with quality ingredients. Look for phrases like grass-fed, pasture-raised, local and organic!
- Listen to your body. Portion sizes at restaurants are often out-of-control, so be aware not to overeat. Stop when you are full, and plan to bring leftovers home to have another convenient meal on hand.
