As a former fatso, almost all of the meals I ate came from a restaurant.  It didn’t matter if the restaurant was fast food or fine dining, I probably ate there.  There is no doubt that eating like this was a major contributor to my weight gain.  During week four of my Paleo Diet experiment, I had family stay with me and we were going to be making plenty of day trips.  This meant that I would be eating most of my meals in restaurants.  I was very concerned that I was going to have trouble following Paleo Diet principles.

Through the first three weeks of my experiment, I was able to be Paleo Diet compliant by spending one hour each week menu planning for lunch and dinner.  Unfortunately, family being family, I wasn’t able to plan any activities let alone a menu until my guests arrived.  I felt that I was setting myself up for failure.  Having to eat several restaurant meals was going to make it hard enough to follow Paleo principles.  The lack of menu planning was going to make it that much harder.

Once I accepted my fate that I had limited control over where I was going to eat, I decided that I would control what I ate.  I would simply put the Paleo principles into action when ordering and all would be good.  In reality, this was a little tougher than I thought.
