Hello,
I am going on Holiday in a week with my Mum. I've been on the Cambridge diet for the last 7 weeks, and while my Mum is supportive of that, she's said she's not prepared to eat alone. Which is fair enough. And I know that my will power will only stretch so far. I wouldn't be able to sit with a shake while Mum has wine and food etc.
So my plan is to stick below 1500 calories in order to limit how much weight I put on while I'm away...but I'm a little worried about estimating restaurant food. I mean, I will take a mini calorie book with me, but who knows how much oil etc has been used in the cooking process? Or how much pasta they've given you...etc etc etc. And I know the simplest answer would be to eat nothing but grilled chicken and lettuce leaves at every meal, but I'm on holiday and I'd like to be able to enjoy 1 ice cream on the beach, or a cocktail, or whatever! But I don't want to go too overboard...
Anyone got any advice or suggestions?
Thank you!!
