Phase 1 and Eating Out

I strongly suggest packing your lunch and avoiding eating out when you are on the attack phase. It just gets complicated and really difficult since you are only eating protein and protein usually needs to be cooked. But if you are stuck downtown and are starving, there are ways that you can eat out while on the attack phase.

Non-fat or low fat deli chicken slices and deli turkey slices are allowed in this phase, just rool them up and eat. It's not glamorous but if you are hungry and on the go it's a definite alternative to starving or cheating.

Some grocery stores have hard-boiled eggs already made up. You can eat those.

And of course you can always pick up some yogurt and a spoon from the deli section of your grocery store and have some dairy.

Those individual crab-sticks also work as an on the go snack.

But what about something meal-life? More warm? Don't worry, I've got you covered. You can always go out and eat steak at a restaurant. I'm paranoid and always ask to make sure they don't put any oil or butter on my steak and no sauce. Just know that if you go to a restaurant they will look at you weird when you ask them to please not bring any bread to the table and tell them you don't want any vegetables on your plate as well.

You can also pick up one of those hot-deli chickens that they sell at most grocery stores. As long as you take the skin off and it's the whole chickens not the breaded wings you are safe.

To avoid all this scrambling you should always plan ahead and plan your meals so you can bring your own hardboiled eggs, leftover steak, shrimp or what have you. You should never be hungry on this diet. Bring lots of snacks around wherever you go and know that phase 2 is much easier.
