When choosing a place to eat you
will probably do better in an ethnic restaurant (Japanese, Indian, Mexican) than
at a "fast-food" eatery or a diner. Focus
on steamed or sautéed veggies, fish, whole grains, salads, bean dishes and
fresh fruit. Bring your own herb tea or
order spring water or unsweetened fruit juice.
