“How May I help You?”

posted in: Food

Whenever you go to a place of business that’s normally the first thing the sales person, waiter or customer service rep ask. Think about what you usually say. “Oh, I’m just looking” or “I haven’t decided yet”. Customer service is big business. As a paying customer it’s your right to get what you ask for. So why is it that we are afraid to ask what we want when it comes to eating out.

You have to know me to know what I ‘m getting ready to share. When I go out to eat I always have several request AFTER I read the menu, don’t want to make the server upset :-). 

  1. Do you have a nutritional facts guide? Typically for fast food restaurants.
  2. Do you have splenda (if it’s not on the table)
  3. Whole grains instead of white flour (i.e. waffles, pancakes, pasta)
  4. Sugar free items (syrup)
  5. Egg substitute
  6. Turkey bacon or sausage
  7. No butter
  8. Look for items that are cooked in olive oil
  9. Salad dressing on side
  10. No croutons
  11. Substitute white or baked potato for sweet potato or extra vegetables
  12. No bread, vegetable soup instead

Don’t laugh at my list of request. Just wait until you finish the program you’ll think the same way. I feel that since I’m a paying customer I should be able to have it my way. Now, you may have to pay a little extra for substitutions but you’ve worked hard at eating healthier… what’s 1.99 more?

Eating out can be just as healthy as cooking at home. Resturants can pretty much do anything you need to keep you on track with your healthy eating life style. The next time you hear ”How may I help you?” tell the truth, get want you want as  you continue on the road to your “I Love My Body” attitude.
