So today I was in Beverly Hills for a large part of the day. I had lunch with a friend, a client meeting, and finally coffee with a potential investor. With that being said here is how I stuck to my Low Carb Diet while walking the streets of Beverly Hills.
I found myself first at Il Pastaio. This is a comfortable venue on the corner of Canon and Brighton Way. there is not a huge amount of seating inside but they have provided additional seating on two substantial patio areas. We managed to get a seat without waiting and sat down at a well appointed all be it shaky table. I ordered the Lenticchie salad which was a delicious blend of arugula, lentils, and shrimp with a wonderful lemon, olive oil dressing. This was a perfect meal for the diet, substantial enough to leave me satisfied and very very tasty. the net carbs on this meal are extremely low with a fair amount of protein.
I left Il Pastaio and wandered around Beverly Hills as I had 30 minutes until my client meeting. The whole area never ceases to amaze and interest me, it might be the greatest people watching in the entire world. I finished my client meeting and walked over to the Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf. I have to say that this particular Coffee Bean in Beverly Hills is absolutely beautiful with an amazing outdoor area and ample seating. I ordered my typical decaf latte and sat and discussed Stout Burgers and Beers with a potential investor for the better part of an hour. I'm still not sure If I have a preference between Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf and Starbucks strictly from a beverage perspective but I do prefer the food and snack options at Starbucks. Next time you find yourself in Beverly Hills in need of a low carb option I would highly recommend Il Pastaio. Okay well back to work so I can finish up and get some sleep. I have to get back to the gym tomorrow in the am. Have a wonderful night everyone and good luck tomorrow on your Cheat Day Diet.
