Low-carbing on the road
If you—or your attendees—have joined the multitudes of folks doing the low-carb diet thing (not for me, thanks. I love my pasta!), this column on joesentme.com is for you.
Among the hotel low-carb news: "Hilton Hotels recently announced that about 1,250 Hampton Inns would add low-carb breakfast items like salsa wraps to its complimentary hot morning meal. Holiday Inn, which serves more than 25 million breakfasts annually, also recently added low-carb choices to its morning menu. Loews Hotels offers low-carb options to its diners and the chain says that 25 percent of its guests request such menu items on a regular basis. Doubletree Hotels ensures that low-carb items are featured on menus and offered during refreshment breaks for conference attendees. And Omni Hotels added low-carb dining to its Ideal Living program, a comprehensive guest wellness initiative, back in 2001."
It also points to some good sites for seeking out a good low-carb restaurant for a dinearound--like Low Carb Luxury, which lets you search for reader-recommended low-carb restaurants by state.
And then there’s this site, which lists the carb content of common fast foods like a Taco Bell tostada and a McDonalds Big Mac.
And, just for fun, let’s throw in this article from Forbes.com about how low-carb is even starting to move into vending machines. What will they think of next?
