Re: Traveling to Paris and Prague

[Guest guest]

Hi ,

I don't have specific recommendations, but there are some things you might be

able to do to ensure you eat well.

Are you staying at a hotel? If you have a choice, some hotels offer a breakfast

buffet. I've had some very good experiences with those. Often they serve

boiled eggs, meat and fish and depending on where you are, there might be small

shops where you can buy decent butter to keep in your room. If you eat late

enough and eat enough food for breakfast, you might not need lunch and it should

be easy enough to find a place where you can get steak or grilled chicken, etc.

Go online and look at travel guides for the restaurants in the areas you'll be

staying. They often post their menus, so you can plan in advance where you

might like to eat.

Happy Travels!

Hi Group,

I have researched other travel messages but could not find any pertaining to

the following. Would you ever take ghee, olive oil and sea salt with you,

since it doesn't have to be refrigerated? Would you actually take it with

you to the restaurant? I like to put the ghee and CO on my foods. I don't

take it straight up. However, I would be a little embarrassed. I am super

shy and when anxiety kicks in, I feel like everyone is staring and

anxiety becomes worse. Any tips??

Thank you,

Jess

Hi ,

Thanks for the ideas. I am staying at a hotel in both locations and I believe

there's a breakfast buffet at both. So that's a great idea. When you're

traveling do you get really picky on how things are cooked? I'm asking because

of the language barrier. I don't speak much french or czech and I don't wouldn't

want them to think I'm being rude by being so picky. By asking not to cook in

certain oils or with seasonings and things like that. Just wondering if I

shouldn't get too picky...and try and just get what I can...

I will look online today! I'm trying to plan ahead because after my cheat this

weekend I felt horrible and I don't want to feel like this on vacation. I want

to be smart about my traveling and do the best I can so I feel good.

Thanks again,

Hi ,

I'm relatively new to the Bee diet, but I live in Bordeaux, after living in

Paris for two years. There are many restaurants where you can get good meat,

the cheaper ones, Hippopotamus (believe it or not!), Buffalo, Bistro Romain.

The French love their meat and these restaurants are perfectly acceptable to

the French, although they usually do the family thing at weekends at these

restaurants.. You might find asking them to cook in different oils will be met

with some resitance, or the usual French indifference, as they don't really

know about coconut oil and most restaurants cook in olive oil, your average

restaurant won't change the order, or may be reluctant.. Just make sure there

are no sauces. Of course if money, is no object then you can probably go to

better restaurants, and be more specific, but my experience of the French is

that not many are into the alternative eating plan. You should also try, when

you are in Paris The Hard Rock Cafe, (which everyone knows). They are at Grande

Boulevard, very central. They speak English and the food is very good, better

than London, service is good, place funky. Generally steak frite will be

grilled or friend steak with chips. They don't season them too much, maybe some

salt. In Chatelet, (again central and good shopping area) there's a couple of

restaurants and middle range, slighty more expensive called, 'Le chien qui

fume'. and 'Pied de cochon', open I think all day, but good food, not that we

can eat most of it. Good meat and saurkraute.

Of course there are many bistros and restaurants all over Paris, so no point in

naming any more, and I've forgotten most of the names, but usually the meat is

good. You can also get full Irish Breakfast (without the sausages) at many of

the Irish and English pubs in Paris. Go for example to Sullivans, again Grande

Boulevard and metro stop. They serve breakfast most of the day and generally

speak English. Look for a free folded map at the pub or any other called Funky

Maps and it will give you an idea of all the pubs in the area. Even if you are

not drinking they are fun with live music some nights.

Hope that helps. Feel free to contact me if you have any other queries. Enjoy

you vacation, and if you near Bordeaux, let me know.

Best regards

Nuala

Thanks Nuala. This is very helpful. Hippopotamus? Interesting...I'll have to

give that a shot. Here in the states when I eat out I usually bring my little

container of CO/ghee with me and pour it over my foods. Should I not do that in

Paris? Maybe just eat it plain before I leave to go out? I don't want to feel

like I'm offending the French so want to make sure I don't just think it's okay

to do it there.

I guess I'll have to live with the possible olive oil and other possible bad

oils the restaurants cook with while I'm traveling. Thanks for the restaurant

recommendations though. I'll for sure look into these before I leave and when

I'm there.

Thanks again for all your help and I'll let you know if I think of anything else

before we leave since it's still 2 months away.

Hi Jess,

I usually take mine in a small container when I eat out and put the sea salt

right in there (after I measure it). After I get my food (usually a plain steak

or salmon) I then put it on top of it and it melts. I usually just try and do

this fairly quickly and then put the container back in my purse so not too many

people notice. It's a little ackward but I don't really care anymore. I just

tell people it's one of my supplements...since it basically is. They don't

need to know it's CO and ghee or whatever it is you have with you.

Hope this helps,

I have researched other travel messages but could not find any pertaining to

the following. Would you ever take ghee, olive oil and sea salt with you,

since it doesn't have to be refrigerated? Would you actually take it with

you to the restaurant? I like to put the ghee and CO on my foods. I don't

take it straight up. However, I would be a little embarrassed. I am super

shy and when anxiety kicks in, I feel like everyone is staring and

anxiety becomes worse. Any tips??

Thank you,

Jess

[Guest guest]

Thank you . Yes, this is very helpful. I tried to do that once with my

CO but it was so cold outside(New York) that my CO was frozen. So my plan to

put it on my food discretely didn't work out so great because I was

literally scraping it out of the jar. lol! I guess I will have to measure

everything before hand and have it ready to go.

Thanks again!

Hey, When your in Prague, you'll only be like two hours from where I live in

Germany lol.

Maybe you should stop over and say hi .... I live about a half hour from the

German Czech border.

I hope that you have a lovely time while your over here in Europe. Make sure you

dress very warm though

because its pretty cold over here.

+++Hi Jess,

Most restaurants have olive oil and butter (ghee), but I always take sea salt.

When I travel I always take all of my supplements, coconut oil, butter, and

ocean sea salt.

France has terrific olive oil, and I'm sure most restaurants will use it too.

[Guest guest]

Thanks Carol. I don't leave for another 2 months (so maybe it will be a little

warmer?) but wanted to get some advice in advance to prepare.

Do you have any recoomendations as to what is best to eat at restaurants in

Czech that sticks to Bee's diet as best as possible? Not sure if you go over

there often or if Germany has similiar food. Lots of pubs, right?

Thanks for any help or thoughts you may have!

Dear Jess,

Yes, I would take my nutrients with when traveling. A bit of preparation

prevents losing progress that you've gained by following correct protocol.

Try putting some CO in a small pill pack, the kind with a single

container.

I bought some that hold a TBS. and they are well suited for this purpose.

I take them on the go frequently. Same thing with salt.

You will need several, and of course, pack them in your check in luggage.

Put them in a zip lock baggy that is clearly labeled. When you go out, only

take

what will be needed that day and restock for the next.

HTH,

Jen B.

Hi Bee,

I'm asking about olive oil because I thought olive oil is bad when restaurants

cook with this? I'm assuming most restaurants would saute/grill if I would order

steak or fish using olive oil and this isn't good when heated, right? Would it

be better to eat raw salads with olive oil as my dressing? I thought raw veggies

would be bad too so I'm just at a lost at what would really be the better option

while traveling.

Thanks,

I guess I'll have to live with the possible olive oil and other possible bad

oils the restaurants cook with while I'm traveling.

+++Hi ,

I was thinking about olive oil as a dressing for salads. I don't know what most

restaurants use for cooking steaks or fish, but I think it would be a cheap oil

like canola, since olive oil is more expensive. Either way, it is better to eat

the steak and fish than to be overly concerned about getting small amounts of

bad oils.

Some people do okay on raw veggies and most restaurants also serve cooked

veggies.

All the best, Bee
