I often eat bunless burgers. Most of the time I do it just by leaving the bun. I'm not worried about getting fat, but buns are usually made of white flour and my diet calls for whole wheat. On rare occasions, I run across whole wheat hamburger buns. If Subway can do it, why can't the bun places provide some bread options?

Eating out offers a lot of challenges. We had a Chinese buffet the other day, and I'd have to say they had the best dessert buffet I have ever seen. But nothing was sugar free. Considering the number of fat people and diabetics out there, you would think at least one sugarless dessert would be available. I'd pay extra.

Another challenge is hidden sugar. We stopped for barbeque at a little country restaurant in North Carolina. It was excellent. I loaded it up with their great slaw and left feeling pleasantly stuffed. My blood sugar went into orbit. Some people put sugar in barbeque sauce and some put it in slaw. I probably got both. As soon as I got back to carefully controlled home cooking, my sugar level dropped back into the safe range.
