Veg Diet Myth of the Day:


Eating out will be impossible.

BUSTED. Even a steakhouse has something on the menu to ensure a vegetarian diner won't go hungry. At old-school meat-and-potatoes joints, try the baked potato and salad bar; at the Italian restaurant, hit the Margherita pizza and antipasti plate. Heading for the local taqueria? Try a black bean burrito loaded with salsa, avocado, and nopalitos. Instead of focusing on what's not available, shift your attention to what is, and use the experience to try something new. Don't like what you ordered? Call it a "nothing-ventured, nothing-gained" moment and head to another restaurant the next time. If you're lucky enough to be eating at an upscale restaurant, ask the reservationist if the chef can prepare something special for the herbivores at your table. You'd be surprised at how accommodating some restaurants can be. Don't be afraid to ask!
