Quote: WizardI had a very disappointing experience at DuPar's at the Suncoast last week so my new family restaurant is officially Egg Works. Just had the egg salad sandwich an hour ago. Left very happy, as always.
I have been wanting to try this place for a bit now, but missed out when they left downtown. The people in the Five Hundy group rave about the place. If you dont mind me asking, what didnt you like about the place? Have you tried the pancakes? They look amazing.

I really liked the location at the Golden Gate. Very vintage Vegas and the food was always perfect diner food. You may recall that is where I did the TomG pancake challenge. Despite it always being busy, the Golden Gate location closed. So I went to the location at the Suncoast quite a bit. That started good but it seemed to slowly lose that DuPars essence. My last visit the order was taken quickly enough, but the waiter came back 45 minutes later and apologized that he never put it in and forgot what we ordered. When it finally came, an hour after the original order, it seemed like Denny's food, at best. That was the last straw.
I've also been going to Egg Works for a while, which is also good. It isn't as sinfully delicious as DuPars but has more of a homemade kind of taste to it. For basic food, that is going to be my new standard and goodbye DuPar's.
I really like this place.
It is a buffet where salads / veggies are the stars, with a rotating variety of soups, pastas, and baked goods as supporting actors.
Google shows several in Las Vegas: well worth checking out for those who, like me, want to "eat healthy."

Only the salad bar is healthy. Everything else is bread, noodle, or some kind of salty soup. That joint needs a real meat option. There is one on Warm Springs and Stephanie in Henderson. Not a bad place just lacking in my opinion. My wife really likes it.
I think you spelled that wrong.Quote: RS
Come
Lunch... arugula salad with watermelon and little feta cheese with grilled chicken.
Afternoon snack... Apple with some peanut butter.
High intensity workout late afternoon.
Dinner... protein shake and cucumbers mixed with chickpeas salad.
Nighttime snack... Trader Joe's mini chocolate ice cream cone... Freaking amazing!
This morning for breakfast... Well let's just say my girlfriend was very happy!

Did you make the taco shells or buy them? I just read a recipe for wraps that use pork rinds with no carbs. I am thinking about doing it today.
Quote: RSIs sweet tomatoes the same thing as souplantation?
Yes.
I believe it is Souplantation in Calfornia, and Sweet Tomatoes in other states.

While I do not disagree with what you said, my use of the term "eat healthy" is used in a relative sense, i.e. as when Sweet Tomatoes is compared to fast food joints such as McDonalds or Burger King.
I eat mostly salads, a fair amount of soup, and a bit of the pasta / baked goods.
Water to drink. (out of milk after the bran flakes).

Eggworks is my favorite breakfast place. The one by my house has really good Hollandaise sauce.
Quote: RigondeauxI eat too much of this. Especially as I eat too much cheese to begin with.
Is there too much cheese on keto

Just because something is keto doesn't mean you can go ham AF on it.
For you no, you shouldn't worry much about it. Stay keto and you'll be fine.
You can fine tune later.
It's not optimal to eat tons of cheese but few of us wind up eating optimally.
To spice things up, today I had a buffalo chicken wrap from T.J. This one only had 380 calories, but the wrap is listed as two servings.
Same wrap, same packaging, yet for one a serving is half the package while the other considers the whole package to be a single serving.
Quote: GWAEJust had a keto meal at burger king. For anyone that doesnt know. Download the burger king app and there are some good coupons. I used the bogo whopper one. I ate 2 whoppers with cheese except I only ate the meat and stuff inside except for the tomatoe.
Holy Moly Gwae. NOOOOOOOO
LOL.
Gotta avoid those pesky tomatoes. polluted to hell and back with vitamins and a couple of grams of carbs.
Just stay the hell away from BK. Coupons... Print them off, add ketchup and eat the coupons.
Seriously dude. I get the whole keto thing, but this has to be the tail wagging the dog.
Stop finding meat that's free or as cheap as sh1t and start challenging yourself to COOK or eat modest sized meals that taste like heaven.
A balance of Fibre, Vitamins, Minerals, Carbs, Fats, Proteins, Water with a sprinkling of fantastical natural flavourings
or 10 oz* of meat & cheese served to the sound of a fryer going ding ding ding and the offer of 'go large with that'
Hint. If BK GIVE you some good coupons, They want to indoctrinate you, drag you in and fill you full of addictive cr4p. With bottomless pepsi and free barbecue (no sugar in me) sauce.
Stay home: Get an 8" plate and fill it with the most heavenly food you can create. (No. not syrup ). It will knock that BK lump of dripping into a cocked hat. Do that every day and drop pounds while getting renewed.
*edit. 2x4oz beef patty + 2 x slices cheese He did say he ate 2

My thoughts exactly. How can you be on a diet and eat fast food garbage. You have to break the bad eating cycle and start eating healthy or it will never work. Just like in gambling you have to think long term if you want to lose weight and keep it off.
It was not an ideal choice for a dinner but I could have had fries and a coke too, so there's that.

It would seem a shame to discourage GWAE's current dieting effort.
Lately, there's lots being discussed about Keto, and GWAE IS losing weight with it. But he seems to be defying conventional advice to just eat healthy. He's also posted at least twice about feeling tempted to stray to beer or pizza or kids leftovers.
Did he really take the time and effort to travel to BK, just because he could get a free 1/4 pound cheese burger... half of which he discarded anyway? Did he drink anything to wash it down?
I'd urge him to 'switch track' , abandon keto and adopt a balanced diet.
This is a thread about what we ate recently. OK. Here's what I had for brunch and dinner on Friday...
Brunch. Taken at the in-store eatery at the local supermarket.
'Small English breakfast', comprising 1 fried egg, 1 hash brown, small portion baked beans, 1 slice buttered toast, 2 rashers lean bacon. Filter coffee. No sugar.
This was not a generous portion, but at £3.50 it was a perfectly satisfying meal.
Dinner. Home cooked from ingredients picked up at that store.
2 hand sized slices lean sirloin stake, ready marinated in a mild chilli glaze. Fried a couple of minutes.
1 medium potato cut into 1/2" 'steak fries', lightly seasoned, splashed with olive oil and grilled.
A generous medley of Mediterranean vegetables: Sliced courgette, chunks of bell peppers in red/ yellow, green, chunks of onion, a couple of mushrooms, cherry tomatoes, splashed with olive oil and baked 30 minutes. As I was preparing it, I could feel my digestive fluids flowing. I was positively drooling with anticipation. Very colorful, a joy to look at and ultimately delicious. It filled a ten inch plate completely.
Neither meal was large, but both were colorful, flavourful, balanced and satisfying. Probably less than the calories burned in a day.
Note. No cakes, no syrup, no Pepsi, No chocolate, No cookies, No sugar in the coffee. SOME fat and SOME sugar in the baked beans. But they were there to round off the flavours not as the prime source of kcalories,
And no temptation to snack afterwards.
Did you have no drink afterwards? Not even a cheeky fruit juice? What's your drink of choice to wash down all this meat?Quote: GWAEBk is the nutz. Flame boiled fresh "meat".

She ordered a chicken cheese sandwich with light mayo but extra cheese, large fries... No make that medium fries with a side of cheese sauce please, and a Coke... No no no please make that a Diet Coke she barked.
I presume somewhere today that she is well on her way to 300 lbs, but thankfully she is not at 350 lb due to the diet coke discipline.
what they eat.
I wouldn't have chosen a keto diet, but he did. Respect his decision and give him encouragement. There are more than enough places to be negative. This thread shouldn't be one.
Quote: WatchMeWinThis woman had it all figured out. I recall going to a fast food joint years ago after a night of drinking and all sorts of no good. I believe we were at a Wendy's. The woman was in front of me placing her order. She was about 5'4" and weighing in at approximately 250 lb.

When I drank soda, I preferred Diet Coke, for its taste. My first choice would be cream soda but that's rarely an option.
DC just tasted better to me than Coke.

If you are going to criticize, at least be specific about it.
What exactly do you think is wrong with Keto/GWAae’s diet?

I can respect your taste preference, however if you are implying that this woman enjoyed Diet Coke vs Coke more then I believe she would have ordered Diet Coke initially and not changing her mind after thinking about how many calories she was consuming as she preface this Behavior twice before in her ordering when asking for little mayo and then downsizing from large to small french fries. I presume you do not play poker.

Moving my reply the the health thread
This is the tread about what we ate today. I'll answer this point in that other 'health and weight loss thread'Quote: billryanGWAE doesn't need your negativity. He is struggling with his weight and his diet. He needs encouragement, not people bragging about
what they eat.
I wouldn't have chosen a keto diet, but he did. Respect his decision and give him encouragement. There are more than enough places to be negative. This thread shouldn't be one.
I respect what he's achieved so far, but he's indicating that his diet plans do change and that he's finding Keto to be 'tough'. So, I encourage him to change his plan to something more in keeping with what his wife would embrace.
Quote: DRichI ate 5 pieces of Kentucky Fried Chicken today. Trying to get ready for my gallbladder removal this week. I don't think i have had KFC in more than three years.
Very nice👍Your goal should be to have them say they have never seen a gallbladder as F'ed up as yours😃
Quote: beachbumbabsHeck, they're barely going to see it. They'll make a hole about 1/2" wide and go in there with a little noose tool, nip that puppy off, cauterize the node, and done by dinner.
If I am fortunate. I have so many scars and scar tissue they are concerned laproscopic may not work. They are going to try it and if unsuccessful they will open me up abdominally..

I like your sig line. Better you get his liver than his kidneys.
Also you needn't work so hard to get to a better place. Everyone goes sooner or later. And probably not a better place. Maybe like the old Western on Fremont St.
Made taco salad and a keto wrap made with pork rinds and cream cheese. Made a chalupa like item.
Sea bream baked in paper with a bit of garlic and lemon butter and a sprinkle of lemon juice.
Served with a handful of cous cous which had been colored in and flavoured with a few peas, some sweetcorn, chopped baby leek and two tomatoes.
Also served with a baked red bell pepper which had been filled with two cloves of garlic, 6 small tomatoes, 3 anchovy fillets and a splash of olive oil.
Washed down by a glass of Cabernet Blanc.
I cooked too much couscous and had to discard a third.

Looks pretty good Gwae. far healthier than my usual image of keto.
I give myself a free dinner every ten days, and a free day every 31st of the month.
A mini vacation of sorts.
The last time this coincided, I was excited about it for days ahead of time. This time I didn't even notice it until dinner.
