4. The 3-Step Restaurant Dinner Rule
- Skip the Bread Basket: Eating refined white bread on an empty stomach spikes insulin before your entrée arrives. Ask for olives or a side house salad with olive oil & vinegar first.
- Request "Cooked in Olive Oil or Dry-Grilled": Say to your server: "Could the kitchen grill my salmon/steak dry or with olive oil instead of vegetable/seed oil?"
- Swap Fries for Double Greens: Swap mashed potatoes/fries for steamed asparagus, broccolini, or sautéed spinach with garlic.
