Reply To: I Do Not Crunch Everything: The Onboard Diet Thread
Does HAL charge for in-room breakfasts? Or is one expected to tip for this service?
And do they serve hard boiled eggs? 😉
Seriously: I find that buffets can be a good way to control one’s eating. Just take one bowl or plate (a salad plate if you’re dieting) and limit yourself to what it holds. With this method of portion control, you can have a very satisfying variety of foods only if you take a small amount of each item. Add fresh fruit and vegetables to the mix to further limit the number of calories you’re taking in.
By the way, oatmeal is high in fiber but even higher in high-glycemic-index carbohydrates. So, while it can help lower your cholesterol, it is not a good diet food. (I gained weight when I tried eating it every morning.)
