What Should Lion’s Eat When Dining Out?
ITALIAN
Five Lion Tips for Eating Italian:
| 1. | Choose meat and veggie-based meals such as Chicken Cacciatore, Veal Marsala, or Beef marinated in wine sauce. |
| 2. | Choose interesting vegetable dishes like eggplant, asparagus, or broccoli made Italian style! |
| 3. | No pasta or bread! Have a salad instead—greens or even Caprese salad—one of our favorites is slices of fresh tomatoes and mozzarella drizzled with olive oil and fresh basil. |
| 4. | Pass on the red wine, and choose water instead. |
| 5. | No Deserts! |
Sample Italian Lion Meal: Chicken Vesuvio with mushrooms and asparagus or Veal Piccata and a fresh green salad.
ASIAN
Whether Thai, Chinese, or Japanese food – this category is always a favorite!
| 1. | Choose meat and veggie-based meals such as Beef and Broccoli, Chicken and Vegetable stir fry, Mongolian beef, Chicken Curry, or similar dishes. |
| 2. | Try seared fresh sashimi or spare ribs as an appetizer. |
| 3. | Avoid rice and noodle dishes and sides. Say no to chop suey and pad thai type dishes! These are not Otter-friendly! |
| 4. | Choose one of the many refreshing herbal teas (hot or cold). No sake for Otters! |
| 5. | Read your fortune, but don’t eat the fortune cookies! Or the almond cookies! |
Sample Asian Lion Meal: Kung Pao Chicken, stir fried vegetables, with Hibiscus iced tea.
MEXICAN
Mexican can be such a fun treat! Who doesn’t love Mexican food? YUM!
| 1. | Choose meat and veggie-based meals such as Chicken with Mole sauce, Carne Asada, or sea bass, or choose sizzling fajitas, minus the tortillas—chicken, beef, or shrimp—either way, they’re a great source of protein and veggies! |
| 2. | There are plenty of great meals without the carbs of tortilla shells or tacos. |
| 3. | Instead of tortilla chips, get marinated veggies or guacamole instead. |
| 4. | Try a big taco salad topped with meat, cheese, guacamole, and sour cream. Just don’t eat the taco bowl! |
| 5. | Skip the margaritas and go for iced tea or water with lime. Lions will crash with sugar-laden drink mixes and alcohol! |
Sample Mexican Lion Meal: Beef fajita with grilled onions and peppers, pico de gallo sauce, sour cream, and guacamole.
AMERICAN
There’s plenty of meat on the American menu!
| 1. | Choose meat-based meals such as steak, chicken, pork, or fish. |
| 2. | Want a burger? Go for it, but forget the bun and top with bacon, avocado, and tomato. |
| 3. | Love sandwiches? Try wrapping fresh sandwich meats in lettuce to give you something to hold. No bread for you! |
| 4. | Nix the fries, chips, onion rings, and bread baskets. Try salad, baked beans, or veggie based sides. Tell the waiter “no bread” or you’ll be too tempted. |
| 5. | Love that brew? Sorry Lions! Beer is not an Lion-friendly beverage, even the “low-carb choices.” Lions need to stick to water or unsweetened iced tea. |
Sample American Otter Meal: Pork loin with sautéed vegetables, and a half baked sweet potato with butter.
You can see, following your Hauser Lion Diet can be delicious, easy, and fun! As a Lion, remember – it’s all about the meat and veggies! Just take a minute to analyze your food choices. You’ll be surprised at how easy it is! If you need some help getting on the right road for eating on the road – give us a call!
