We have found that going out to restaurants and finding something to eat is an adventure every time.

When we tell the waiter, no meat, no eggs, cheese, nuts, or oils of any kind, he just looks at us with a quizzical look on his face that seems to say "Tell me again. Why are you bothering to eat?" The good thing is that we have found some very accommodating restaurants. We have eaten Thai food and many salads and baked potatoes. We take our own zero calorie Walden Farms salad dressing with us and hummus to put on a baked potato.

Today we went out to lunch with Marty McCarty, the director of Military Young Life, and had a great salad. Pam and I have each lost five pounds, and she is starting to get pumped about this diet.
