So Ill be in New Orleans thursday through Sunday - staying on Canal street!

I'm sure Ill blow the new way of eating out of the Water wanting to try all of the good food and all, but at least i can only hold a little

Any locals have suggestions on the best places and food to try? Good bars for mingling? Must do's and must see's? Have a locals meet up for coffee?

I went to New Orleans just a few months out of surgery. I lived on shrimp there! Acme Oyster House was a big favorite with the group I was with. I wasn't partaking in copious amounts of alcohol that trip so I tried to find other things to do. So I signed up for a haunted history tour. It was fun and incorporated my new active lifestyle into my love of history and ghosts!

See, you don't have to blow off your new way of eating - I think I would miss the copious amount of alcohol more.

Shrimp, crawfish, gumbo, and there are tons of different bisques out there as well. Go the oysters if you can stomach them...yuck! LoL! Have a great time!

Have fun! I'd try all sorts of good Protein choices. But keep other things at a minimum.

I say that because I went on vacation a couple of weeks ago and ate things that I don't typically eat anymore and it's really thrown me off.

I've been having a hard time going back to my healthier choices! It's like I woke up a beast...

I went to Deanies and Drago and had BBQ shrimps and chargrilled oysters. They have tons of Protein and are not deep fried like everything else down there. I also had crawfish and seafood omelets which a lot were great tasting with a lot of protein.
