I have been on the calorie counting diet for 4 weeks and it has worked well for me. However, for the month of April, I have visitors from interstate and overseas visiting. I have no choice but to frequently have meals outside and I am finding it very very hard to control what goes into my meal. Often there are few good choices that can be made on the menu. There is hidden fat and a lot of added fat to a lot of meals. So what I find myself doing is that I am cutting down my meal portions but finding myself starving before it is time for the next meal. Usually I have oatmeal in the morning which is low GI and is able to keep me going for longer. And after all that starving ... I only managed to maintain my weight. How miserable... Anyone with any suggestions?
