emily's 6am crew is killing this challenge! keep it up gang!

Found a cool link with tips on eating out!
















Tips for dining out

Tonight I'm going out for dinner. Because I've been doing quite well on the nutrition front recently, I want to get through the evening without spoiling that. So I went looking for tips and ended up at "The primal blueprint guide to eating out". It didn't look very promising, with tip nr 3 being "Don't eat". Hell no, I eat out perhaps once every two months so I'm damn well going to enjoy it! Besides, the whole point of this diet is too improve quality of life- quality kinda goes down if you have to sit there like a freak watching everyone else eat.

Tip nr 5 was to make special requests, claim allergies if need be- anything to get some primal food! But I know myself, I'd be fussing and worrying the whole time, unable to let it go and enjoy the night. Plus I'd spent the next couple hours dreading to face the waiter with all my requests.

Great job so far on the challenge guys! Below is a recipe from Itza, one of our 6am OG's!

The muffin is similar to a quiche baked in a six-cup muffin tin, no crust..easy…they looked really pretty when they came out of the oven but then they collapsed like a souffle.   Three are plain and three have mushrooms. 



 







5.8.9 Turkey Bacon and Egg Muffins

(pg 39-40 in the Live Primal recipe booklet Caro emailed to us. Good basic recipe could add different spices, meat, egg whites, etc.)
