Eating Out on the Challenge
One of the biggest challenges for people who are trying to stay away from grains and sugars comes when they find themselves eating out at a restaurant or at a family gathering.  I know its hard to believe, but there are ways to navigate these situations without a ton of questions from the people around you and still have a tasty meal.

The other day Alicia and I found ourselves at a restaurant for supper.  As neither of us wanted to have anything with grains or sugars in them we looked the menu over carefully.  I chose the steak and chicken fajitas.  When I ordered, I asked the waitress if I could substitute extra lettuce in place of the tortillas.  I instantly had a Steak and Chicken Fajita salad with no questions asked.  Alicia chose the Cobb salad with grilled chicken and had them hold the cheese.  She ordered oil and vinegar for the dressings and had a wonderful meal.

There are other things that you can try as well.  Ordering a steak, grilled chicken, or grilled fish with a side of vegetables works great.  Often times you can get your potato side replaced with extra vegetables as well.

Please post and other suggestions that you have to the comments below.
