oh and my personal diet plan for eating out is called "Sauce on the
Side" (hey that'd be great book title)

order everything, chicken, salads, burgers, whatever without sauce or
dressing, and have it on the side so you allot how much you put on.

and whatever you get at applebeesTGIFfridaysrubytuesdaysshenanigins,
cut it in half and take it home.

i personally believe portion control (moderation), and daily activity
is just as important, if not MORE important the WHAT you eat.

james,

You are absolutely correct on your last point.

My Mrs. shed 40 pounds via Weight Watchers and this is exactly how it works.
You can eat anything you want but everything has a points value to it and
you get X points per day. When you hit your total, you're done...

Want the chocolate cake? No problem, but it's all yer gonna get today so if
you want full meals, you start to learn where you can save points and still
get full.

Works really well.
