Hi Hal,
Yum. I love good Chinese food! I find many westernised Chinese restaurants in
Australia are terrible for carbs, sugar and icky ingredients. Have to be
careful… When dining at Asian eateries my measuring stick is how many people of
Asian descent are eating there. If there are a lot, I have an idea it’s good.
:-)
I am quite happy getting takeaways from restaurants. That's good for lunch
times when I’m working from home and Dohn can just go and grab it and bring it
back to minimise my lunch break so I can finish earlier! But it’s nice to eat
in, too, when I have more time. (You might not be able to do that safely in
your area.) Am thinking of treating myself to an Indian curry one day… mmmm.
Vicki. :-)

Don’t know about where you live but there are a number of “Chinese”
restaurants in this area and also in Memphis. I really enjoy their meals and
buy one often. Yes, you bring it home and eat it there, but it is low carb
and I enjoy eating them. If I get the quart size I have no problem getting
two meals out of it. I really enjoyed watching them fix the meal at the one
in Memphis. The two I use there, you can’t see them cook it. Hal

You look nicely set up for a comfy meal! I always have my iPad with me when I
eat alone. They are excellent company haha.
I started Irena Macri’s Low-Carb July Challenge
<https://irenamacri.com/low-carb-challenge-home/> on Thursday. Not that I
intend it to be just for a month, but I did need a bit of a prompt. I started
reining in the carbs a few days before that, but am resigned to cooking
everything I eat for the next month. (I actually hope I can have a meal out
occasionally but it’s notoriously hard to find healthy, low carb food when
out.) I like this challenge because it’s not religious, if you know what I
mean. It’s merely about the carbs, 50-100 g a day so not super restrictive,
and no one shoots the people down in flames who use unhealthy commercial
low-carb products, which is a really nice change. Not that I use them, but
others do and if that’s the best way they can manage then good for them. We
can’t always have or do everything we want.
So I’m actually not even counting carbs, but I have cut out my breakfast
toast and am making all my own food, and I almost never make food that is not
low carb, so I’m pretty sure I’m good for this challenge, except when I add
wine! (And I mean to my glass, not to my food haha.) 😉
It’s nice to be so relaxed about it. When I’m doing keto, where there is a
strict carb limit, I have to keep a much closer eye on things. And
historically I’ve also counted calories which adds to the hassle. (Still, it
works. I just want to see how I go with a more relaxed way of eating this
time. So far, so good – I’m losing weight without counting a thing.)
Good luck with your low carb. It’s such a delicious way of eating, for me not
least because I start to feel really good after the first few days, and
wonder why I didn’t do this sooner. 🙂 (Sometimes I don't know how un-good I
have been feeling until I start actually feeling good. 🙂)
Vicki. :-)
