Working on my action plan for next week – in a hotel Monday to Thursday. I’ve stayed there before do have a reasonable idea what the meals are like. Unless, of course, they’ve changed things from last year!
Breakfast: buffet style. Will walk past fruit juice, cereal etc and head straight for the cooked breakfast. Avoid toast that sits on the table.
Lunch: buffet style. (I normally don’t eat lunch now, but most evenings next week the evening meal is quite late, so will probably eat at lunchtime too). Cooked meats and various salads, just watching portion sizes and being careful with the salads. No bread roll! Avoid the hot option – too many carbs usually. Definitely no dessert.
Dinner: this has to picked at breakfast (at arrival on first day) and is 3 courses, served set the table. Because it will be later than I normally eat, I won’t want much – especially after eating at lunchtime. Usually a choice of about 3 starters – soup plus possibly pâté, melon or something similar. Will make best choice possible – or just not have starter. Main course – again a choice of 3 or 4 dishes- usually fish, poultry and meat alternatives. Have decided I’ll see what the choices are and if I’m not too happy with them I’ll ask if I can have a salad. Again, I’ll decline the desserts. Last year I had the cheeseboard one evening – if was huge, with lots of crackers and fruit!!!!!
Oh, and no shortbread biscuits at coffee breaks.
That’s my thinking. I don’t think low-carb will be an issue – it’s going to be keeping an eye on portion sizes. And not eating too much late in the day😳
