Surviving Eating Out- How to Eat Out on a Vegan or Plant-Based Diet!

[@ChoosingMyHealth]

Share your best tip! How do you navigate eating out as a vegan or plant-based muncher?

[@Truthfavorblessed]

Thank you for this video! I call ahead and inquire about the options as well. If I know that there’s no entree options, I eat my meal at home/etc, and at the restaurant just order whatever appetizer and/or soup is agreeable and eat that as my main meal. I let folks know that I ate beforehand so no one is offended or thinking I’m on a diet 🤦🏽‍♀️😂. Happy New Year 🎊 🎉✨.

[@ChoosingMyHealth]

Great tips! 😂 Thanks for sharing! Happy New Year to you also!!

Thank you, Lori! 😊

[@Jojodancer1978]

Thanks so much, this was very helpful. I’m becoming an expert at ordering a salad and asking for veggies instead of meat. It’s working pretty nicely 😊

[@ChoosingMyHealth]

Awesome 😊

[@Shalyse1]

Such a helpful video. I definitely forgot to check the menu before I went to a restaurant today and felt awful after eating the food there. But thanks to your encouragement, I've started taking my own wfpb desserts to social gatherings where I know dessert will be (my biggest weakness!)

[@ChoosingMyHealth]

Proud of you Shalyse! 🙌🏽

[@marymac48]

@@ChoosingMyHealth Thank you for asking! I’m having less slip ups, and I’ve been praying for God to strengthen me. I tried out the sweet potatoe pasta recipe. It was really good. I look forward to trying more of your recipes. And awesome, I will set a reminder for the 26th! Thank you🌸

[@ChoosingMyHealth]

I’m so glad Mary Mac! Keep going 💜

Ethiopian food is one of my new takeout favorites!

[@acidityliquidity211]

Been WFPB for about three months. My friends recently started a weekly eating out deal. I very much experienced the oddly overwhelming aspect of it and tried to not make it awkward. Luckily I convinced the group to go to a Mexican place. Don't think I'll be that fortunate every time. I walked in an hour ahead of time and asked about their food. With lack of experience it came about as poorly as this videos bad example. I didn't know how to break it down into a simple term like vegan, and on top of that English was not as fluid in their ears. I read their menu and looked at every option individually. I've heard rumors about oil being normal obstacle but i still needed to do more research on it. I normally don't consume anything with oil so I'm not used to making a decision about it yet. Every item in the vegetarian menu had egg or cheese. I knew from past experience that not all cheese could be removed from certain items, or so i was told by an employee. I did find one option outside the menu i could eat part of. Asked to leave out the sour cream. Forgot to ask to eliminate cheese from the refried beans. Didn't eat and also didn't know about refried beans in general. I might have messed up by eating the refried rice. Ate the guac, pico de Gallo, and whatever the bits of leafy greens were. I ordered the vegetarian fajita and skipped the flour tortillas that were on the side. Consumed a third of the fajitas veggies. The thought of oil possibly being in the that though scared me from eating any more. Seeing that I had eaten enough to not make others uncomfortable anyways, i let the rest go to waste. Then the rest of the time was thinking about the next 100 times that i would be eating out with friends. Kinda not looking forward to this.

[@ChoosingMyHealth]

Quite an experience Jacob! And so relatable. I hope things are improving as you go!

Bring your own seasonings!! I WILL season a salad!! 😂😂 but for real tho. Order it bland and plain and season it yourself.

[@ChoosingMyHealth]

Love this lol! 💜

[@StephsHealthMatters]

I went out to dinner the other day and I ended up with a bowl of lettuce and bread.

[@ChoosingMyHealth]

Sorry sis 😕 Hope these tips help for next time 💜

[@StephsHealthMatters]

[@rena1168]

It is actually difficult especially when you also still on the fat content.

[@ChoosingMyHealth]

Hopefully these tips help 🙏🏽

Indian food has a lot of oil 😭. A lot of restaurant food tbh

[@ChoosingMyHealth]

Yea I know 🥲 Some places may prepare something special for you. You’ll always have the most control over what you make at home. When you do eat out, do the best you can!
