So it seems like all of my friends have birthdays around the same time haha... So tomorrow night we are going to a japanese steakhouse for dinner.. what would be the right choice to order?? any suggestions... Or should I just celebrate and get the big meal and just eat some to bring home leftovers??

    If you want to stay consistent, I suggest seeing if the website has a nutritional listing of their foods, or call the restaurant ahead of time. Order foods and take home the left overs. If there's any question of feeling guilt after, then make smart choices. You're on this journey for you and no one else. It's okay to say no, if that's the direction you want to take. Or you could just have what you want for the night.your choice :)

    I have a hard time eating at Japanese steakhouses, and I've always assumed it was from the fat content (have you seen that hunk of butter they use?!) I wonder if, for the sake of your stomach and being able to stay in the festivities, munching on sushi and brown rice might not be the best move. I'm sure your friends would let you grab a chopstick-full of sprouts (my fav. part of hibachi) and some of those yummy shrimp appetizers. But either way, have fun with your friends!!

    Moderation is key. A bite of this, a bite of that. Don't fill up on rice, it's not fatty but those carbs sneak up on you!

    I love teppan.....but the ginormous pats of butter they put on EVERYTHING drives me nuts. I muttered about it one time and the chef (who is our friend) stopped in the middle of his act and said....WHAT....you got a problem with that? :tongue:
