Two little words.

Chinese buffet.....

I have to be really careful with my choices there, because everything is
loaded with sodium and carbohydrates, but hubby loves the place and we are
meeting friends there.

Wish me luck at being a good girl!

eat shrimp...breading pulled off if any and the beef and broccoli and
chicken and broccoli..those are usually pretty safe if you dont eat much of
the sauce with it.

I never spike after the buffet if i dont give into the stuff i know is bad
like the general tsu....the lemon anything or the sweet'n sour
anything...sigh

Most places with a buffet also have a menu. Check for a menu when you
get there. You can order a dish the way you want it like with no sugar
and no corn starch.

The other suggestion was already mane and that is if they have ome of
those Mongolian grills, put together your own meal.

This particular one has some good choices..... a roasted turkey and also a
poached salmon and some peel your own shrimp. No goopy sweet sauces on any
of those. The general tso's is delicious but I avoid it like the plague.
That sauce is really sweet.

They have one of those and I have never tried it. There are so many things
to choose from, and I always manage to find some good choices, it is just
that there is a lot of temptation to try the naughty stuff.

Not overly, no. There was a lot of cheese in it and I only had a small
piece.

When I go to our Chinese buffet, I can always load up on veggies and
relatively safe stuff (green beans sauteed with garlic take up a large
portion on my plate). And I will pick one carby thing to take a very
small serving of. One piece of General Tso's chicken will satisfy me for
a few months. The place I go has a lot of things in non-shiny sauces, so
I'm generally pretty safe.

Yes, that seems to be the trick. Small portions.

That Chinese buffet must have less of a selection than the local one I
went to recently. Their unsweetened tea was free of both, and there
was a good selection of items that appeared to be low-carb (I wasn't
trying for low-sodium also, and low-sodium doesn't make a
noticeable difference in the appearance).

I love peel your own shrimp..they assume you wont eat many due to the work
of getting the meat out..i am a master peeler and can eat 30 in a
minute..lol...so i eat alot of those and one piece gen tso for the taste.

i had a owner scream at me that i was costing him money eating his
shrimp...rofl.

I was like yeah right..im paying 17 bucks ..where you buying yer shrimp
pal?..jerk

all thier shrimp..lol

I did have plain tea and it was good. And I managed to find some good
stuff that wasn't too carby. My plan was in taking very small portions.

Krom, this place doesn't hassle you. They also have king crab legs which
are fine even without butter, and a whole turkey that you can slice the meat
off of. So I can always find something to eat there.

I read somewhere that one place is charging people extra for what they leave
on their plate, because that is truly genuine waste of food, and does
honestly cost the restaurant money. I thought it was a really good idea.
I have seen people who were wasteful and took far more than they could or
would eat.

I ate hot and sour soup in Thailand, Hong Kong and Cairns
(lots of good Thai restaurants there). The local Chinese
Restaurant also does some Thai dishes and does a good Tom
Yum Soup.

I tested the first few times but I've found that it has very
little effect on me, regardless of all those different
sources. Because I have it "as it comes" it is usually very
hot, the sort of spicy heat that makes saunas unnecessary to
thoroughly clean my pores. That also means that I tend to
eat it quite slowly and I can make it last quite a while.

Cheers, Alan, T2, Australia.

Why do I have this image of you in a Duff Beer T-shirt and a
suspicion that you have a son named Bart and a daughter
named Lisa?
