Weight Loss Forum / General Topics / August 2004Plans on hold!
Oh dear, best laid plans, and all that - no sooner do I start a weight-loss programme than my husband gets asked to go to Poland for a week and is taking me with him! We will be back in a week; in the meantime, I think my weight-loss plan had better go on hold. I won't destroy everything in one week.... Back in August!  SignatureAnnabel Smyth mailto:annabel@amsmyth.demon.co.uk http://www.amsmyth.demon.co.uk/index.html Website updated 18 July 2004 Enjoy the trip, Annabel. This is a time to test the maintenance mode!

Do you think you cannot lose weight in Poland? i who lost a lot of weight in Poland 13 years ago:) >> Oh dear, best laid plans, and all that - no sooner do I start a >> weight-loss programme than my husband gets asked to go to Poland for a [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > >Do you think you cannot lose weight in Poland? I wouldn't expect to lose weight during any week where I ate in a restaurant more than once; they don't do the sort of cooking I do! And I don't know what sort of cooking is done in Poland, nor do I know how practical it will be for us to have the occasional evening meal of ham and salad in the hotel room.

Poles are very good for cooking numerous dishes made from pork. Very good stuff, although, of course, it packs quite a bit of calories. In fact, we like to shop at ethnic Polish stores here, from time to time. i "Annabel Smyth" <Annabel@amsmyth.demon.co.uk> wrote in message > I wouldn't expect to lose weight during any week where I ate in a > restaurant more than once; they don't do the sort of cooking I do!

But for the next few months it's going to be restricted to when we have visitors, or a *very* occasional treat! Although that sort of dish is practical and quick in the extreme..... just wish it weren't quite so fattening.

Well, the thing is, vacation is probably not the best time to start a new WOE. Have fun in Poland! I look forward to hearing all about it.

I tend to agree with you, but we have someone here (I think it's Barbara Hirsch, but I could be wrong) who eats out almost all the time and still lost/maintains weight. janice > >>> Oh dear, best laid plans, and all that - no sooner do I start a > >>> weight-loss programme than my husband gets asked to go to Poland for a [quoted text clipped - 15 lines] > > janice I'm another one who doesn't eat at home. Isn't that why they built restaurants<G> I've found it just as easy to eat out if you pay attention to portion sizes, choose from the healthier entrees and don't be afraid to request special orders. I always ask them to omit any additional butter, sauces, etc when preparing the food. I'm heading off for a few days with the granddaughters tomorrow. We'll be spending a few days in Dollywood amusement and water parks in Tennessee. I may not lose anything on the trip but I certainly don't plan on gaining during this time.

I'd like to add that I ask about the portion size (how many ounces is the salmon fillet?) and I feel free to ask for substitutions as I see fit (could I have double vegetables and no rice?). I've always asked for salad dressings on the side. I did not have the confidence to make so many requests a year ago though. I'm not sure why I thought that it would be hard...

I think this is possible in the USA, but if you try it in a grand restaurant here, you'd get thrown out - it has happened!

I guess they don't feel that the customer is "always right." I'm sorry to hear that it would not be possible to ask the wait stuff how many grams a serving of fish is or let them know that you would prefer a different side item. That is certainly not what I have experienced when I have been in France and Italy but I have not been to the UK. I guess Jamie Oliver might not be into the whole pleasing the customer thing, huh?

I highly doubt it - the great (or self-proclaimed great) chefs here are always right! I have heard of customers being thrown out for daring to ask for some salt to season their food..... but then, I wouldn't want to eat in that sort of restaurant, even if I could afford to! Eating out is seriously expensive here, even in cheap restaurants (I don't count fast food). It wasn't in Poland.... quite the reverse!
