Ok, so I had a wonderful Valentines dinner at the http://www.millenniumrestaurant.com/ this week. And it was worth every bite. It's also 100% vegan but not 100% fat free. I only get to go twice a year. Our anniversary and Valentines. Hmmm maybe I can talk my hubby into adding my birthday as well.
Plus two days this week I had to have two small whole wheat Belgian Waffles.
First the Millennium was amazing and delicious. Although my husband believed they served less food this year (and he would know,
but kept the prices the same, which is a shame, but we do understand. It was the first time we noticed some empty tables as well. It would be a shame if something should happen to the place. It’s my favorite nice place to eat. For those of you whom don’t know this. Eric Tucker is the chef there and he is also a guest chef during Dr McDougall’s Celebrity weekends on occasions. He’s amazingly talented and the food is to die for. His cookbooks are wonderful. But you do need to allow time to make many of the recipes. But it’s great for special occasions. I have made many of the recipes from his books and get many comments, they are very good.
As for the waffles. Watch out, lookout, get out of my way! HA
I had to have those or I would go nuts. No not homemade unfortunately. Store bought but good and enough to satisfy me. They were perfect. Oh and some real maple syrup.
So yes, this was a cheating week. However the difference in cheating here is most of it was McDougall cheating using the regular McDougall plan. And even though the cheating was higher in calories of course you can see I still lost weight. Although I do say only most of it was McDougall cheating because the millennium wasn’t 100% fat free. The owner has mentioned in the past while at one of the study weekends that you can ask for a fat free meal so this is a plus. But I didn’t do that my mouth wouldn’t open far enough to ask.
However this meal was pretty low in fat this year anyway.
Tip of the week: If you need to cheat while following the MWL plan, try staying within the regular plan guidelines. You'll feel better about your progress.
See ya next week!
Hope you are having a good weekend.
Glad to hear your doing well.
Dr McDougall talked to me about it once. All I needed to do was walk every day to help accomplish my goals. So that’s what I’m doing and it's clearly working. And for my situation without exercise I would probably not be losing this fast!
