Guilt free meal from the Indian takeaway

[Stellap]

Have just had an absolutely gawjus dinner from our local indian takeaway. Chicken Tikka with onion and cucumber raita and salad. Mmmm it was delish and full of protein and I also don't feel guilty for having it (a first having something from the Indian and not feeling guilty) Am 8 months out now and have had a really bad day at the office so it was nice to be able to have a treat like this.

I had chicken tikka a couple of weeks ago, figured without the creamy sauce all it is in chicken n spices so that's all good! I would warn you that when i brought it on the Sunday evening and it was hot it went down and stayed down a treat, i saved some for the next night and had extreme discomfort before it came back about 5 hours later... Was oh so lush, i also sometimes make a 'healthy choice' tikka masala for the family and have a sliver of naan bread and oooh its heaven!

Surely our surgery is about making sensible choices for life? With an occasional treat thrown in..

Exactly how I see it - I used to love my Friday night takeaway and at 8 months out I can eat anything now without a problem - its all about healthy choices and that way i can keep the weight off long term by re-educating myself to make sensible choices that are still yummy. At the Indian I go for Chicken Tikka or Tandori Chicken - I avoid any heavy sauces, if I have bread then I have roti rather than naan(don't have the bread most times as it's just too much with the chicken) and if i have rice then i go for plain basmati rather than pilao (really wish that brown rice was as easy to get as white rice in restaurants)

Most indian places now will do a low/no fat version of my fav curry. i have a spoon or 2 of hubbys rice and some of the meat and sauce and save the rest we eithe have it between us for lunch the following day or I will have it as my main meal and hubby will have whats left as a side dish.
