You must be willing to ask questions, be spefic about the ingredients you want and don't want in your meal. Here's a
guide to eating out the McDougall way:
Flavorings:Salad dressings are almost always laden with oils and dairy products which makes them unacceptable. Consider
a wedge of lemon or a dash of vinegar for your salad. Use salt sparingly.
Beverages:
Order water-its the ideal beverage. Non-caffeinated teas are available at most restaurants.
Practical Breakfast suggestions:
Hot cereals, oatmeal(without butter, cream or milk). If necessary add sweeteners such as honey, or maple syrup. You may
want to add a small amount of apple, orange or other sweet juice.
