thinking about Mexican for lunch

[O.T.R. sleever 3,386]

Coctel de Cameron. All healthy stuff. & tastes great too.

That sounds like a good alternative and maybe order salsa as the dressing.

Heck yeah, salsa and a squeeze of lime. . You won't miss the extras

[Fiddleman 4,376]

Good ideas everyone! I now feel armed to make a good decision at mexi for lunch. Yummy!

Most of the places here bring chips and salsa for free. I do usually eat a few chips. Probably about four to six. My NUT said not to make yourself feel deprived. I also eat rice and Beans. But only about a quarter cup of the rice and 1/2 cup or so of Beans. And I don't do it every day, or even every week now.

[Pinky Green 260]

Oh and I have charro Beans and not the refried. I never really liked the refried anyway. Until I found out I could usually get charro beans, I would get double rice instead.

While it is tempting to not deprive myself with a little here and a little there, I do not want to start stumbling down a slippery slope and then fall off a cliff.

I know myself and how that has happened in diets in the past. Plus I have seen some others struggling with it recently. I would rather just keep eating as healthy as possible as long as it is not stressing me out. So far not stressful at all eating the way I am and do not miss the old comforts as long as I do not start eating them. I want to eat in a way that is going to maximize results in my workouts and in the way clothes fit and in the way I feel about myself. Rambling a little, but I hope that makes sense.

I know some do not want to adopt the whole eating life style of a reborn post op, but I feel it has worked really well for me with my all or nothing personality type. Sorry for the rant, that is just who I am in my approach to life.

I will be saying no thank you to the tortilla chips, rice and refried beans.

Living next to the border, I eat Mexican all the time. Carne Asada is good, Carne al Pastor, Machaca beef, personally my go to Mexican dish at my fav restaurant is I order the taco salad with chicken, they bring it out and the chicken is shredded and moist, I take that off the salad, smash it with guacamole and salsa and it is really yummy. I usually end up leaving the salad and the tortilla bowl. any of the civiche dishes would be fine also. Good luck!

Fiddle I just got back from the farmers market!

Yummy! Sample heaven.... I had different kinds of smoked salmon goat cheese to die for, fruit and almonds!

Gotta love the free lunch

I have planned out most of my favorite restaurants and this is one of them. Ours has great black bean Soup and it is vegetarian, so that's a great option. If you ask, you can order off the "sides" menu (like adding chicken to a salad) and ask for shrimp, chicken or steak to add into the Soup or on the side.

If you have a favorite, ask for the sauce on the side and just use a bit.

Last week I had a grilled shrimp with pepper and onions taco. Yummy. Don't have to eat the shell. Ate some of the Beans, but no rice.

Ended up going calmares montrey at Azteca. Very yummy and I feel compatible with sleeve eating.

[SpaceDust 585]

Excellent choice, Fiddleman! I don't get to Azteca much anymore, but that was always one of the dishes I found tasty.
