Started using South Beach Diet few months ago and surprising lost 20 lbs.
During the India trip, realized how difficult is to manage South Beach Diet on Indian Food.
1. No food in hotels in cities is without Rice. Idali, Dosa, everything is made from Rice
2. All the vegetarian dishes have Aloo (Potato) in there
3. Sugar is mixed in every food including Daal or Sambar.
Learned few ideas to survive, here are tips
1. One can ask for Wheat Roti in Indian Restaurants, without butter obviosuly
2. Daal, espceially Black Daal - made up of Lentils, works wonders.
3. Some places you can ask for Moong Vada or Moong Dosa (Lentils again)
4. Many High end Indian Restaurants know about ToFU. If you ask, they will make something.
5. Never ask for Gardan Salad/Salad-> Indian Restaurants do not serve Lettuce,
Salad means -> Tomatos, Cucumber, Onions, Green Chillies
6. One can use "Papadam" or Papad-> Lentil Wafers regularly. Easily available.
7. Five-Star Hotels or High End restarunats serve "Ceasers Salad" - Vegetarian :-)
Over last 3 months learned many tricks to live on Vegetarian South Beach Diet, next post on my ideas and tricks
Otherwise,
Very busy week, many new problems in the current project implementation.
It is really scary to see how a big company can avoid customer problem and spend time on internal issues,
more later,
