I would like to thank all the girls that joined us for the girls evening out yesterday. We had such a lovely time, met new girls and had good food and wine.
Here is the sum up of the evening from a paleo challenger perspective. We went for the most paleo option out there: fillet de perches with olive oil with salad and vegetables. But despite all my effort to keep us 100% paleo there were still a few traps set for the challenger.
First of all I phoned and made sure they could cook the fish with olive oil and they assured me that it was possible. But we suspect that they cooked the veggies in butter and there was too much salt. The starter salad was a mix of green leafs, carrots, tomato but contained some potatoes that we all left aside. With the fish we had vegetables which were also mixed and had carrots, onions, broccoli and peas and green beans. The trap wasn’t obvious for everybody. We now all know that we do not have legumes in the Paleo Diet because they irritate the digestive system, pass through the intestinal wall into the blood stream causing auto immune responses and prevent nutrient uptake.
Temptation was close but all of us stayed strong and treated ourselves with a bit of red or white wine. After the restaurant we went into Geneva on the lake side to enjoy a few drinks in the cold but not rainy outdoor lounge bar.
And here are the photos taken with my iphone
We finished the evening by doing a few lunges on the lake side just to not loose the opportunity to do a workout at 2 a.m.
Thanks again to all the girls and to new friends!
