INTRODUCTION

Well this is a real honour that my good friends and good looking cooking

super couple Dave Ruel and Karine Losier have given me. I am not so

sure if it was a gift and opportunity or a challenge.

Either way it’s a great opportunity for both of us. Me and You.

It’s a great opportunity for me to rant, rave and help you change the way

you think about eating at restaurants and eating for fat loss on the run.

It’s a great opportunity for you to listen to me rant, rave and help you

change the way you think about eating at restaurants and eating for fat loss

on the run.

In all seriousness eating out and eating for fat loss do NOT have to be

mutually exclusive of each other. I can say with experience that you can

eat on the run much of the time and still get fit and fabulous. In fact I was

eating on the run about 60% of the time leading up to a contest and still

placed in the top 3 at a pretty big show (my class had 18 guys... it was

ridiculous, like we all got ready for the same show. Actually 3 of my

buddies did enter with me, so that didn’t help the numbers... I digress).

Restaurants are known to be calorie and diet demons in disguise. They

don’t have to be if you know what you are doing.

I am here to help you navigate your way thru the restaurants and lose fat.

OK before we go into things, let me justify why I am the right guy for the job

and why I am going to help you lose fat even eating at restaurants with my

help.

SUCCESSFUL STRATEGIES AND SOLUTIONS FOR FAT LOSS ON THE RUN 7

Who the HECK is Patrick McGuire?

Let’s start with this one, it’s the easiest and gets us off on the right foot. I

am a regular Joe/Jane, just like you. I just happen to know a thing or two

about nutrition and fitness.

I have played in the OHL (hockey) and the NFC (football).

I was a competitive bodybuilder and worked my body from a skinny looking

middle weight to a pretty thick 5 foot 9 heavyweight.

I live the active lifestyle, eating clean, enjoying sweets and treats and

keeping it all in check with some simple rules and exercise.

I still play hockey in a shinny league and during the summer months I race

mountain bikes.

I’m a husband (to an amazing wife) and dad of 3 amazing kids who are

beautiful, healthy and fit and like their dad prefer chocolate and ice-cream

over veggies any day, but know to eat them after the veggies are all gone.

I am just like you.

Why should you listen to this whack job?

I hold a Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology. I am a Registered Nutritional

Consulting Practitioner and a Certified Strength and Conditioning

Specialist.

Page 8: RESTAURANT REVENGE

SUCCESSFUL STRATEGIES AND SOLUTIONS FOR FAT LOSS ON THE RUN 8

What reason do you have for following my recommendations?

As one of my OHL clients recently told the director of the Canadian Hockey

League “...the dude knows what he is talking about” – Sean Boland, OHL

Or a CFL referee recently promoted to the CFL officials board... “we really

need to listen to this guy and if you are concerned about any particular

individuals then send them to Patrick privately and he will fix them up like

he got me ready for camp last season...” – Jason Maggio, CFL Official

There are many more reasons like those, but I would simply say you can

trust me because I have taken my academic studies and applied them to a

real world performance situation for myself, my private clients and

thousands around the world and I love to help others.

How is this crazy nutritionist going to help me?

I am simply going to give you this report and let you decide for yourself.

SUCCESSFUL STRATEGIES AND SOLUTIONS FOR FAT LOSS ON THE RUN 9

RESTAURANT REVENGE: THE GUTS

Ok so I want to dive in and simply tell you what to do, but before I do that, I

need to expose you to the things that are dirty, disgusting and downright

dangerous to your health.

I mean you really need to 100% fully understand just how nasty and life

threatening a typical restaurant can be to your health let alone your fat loss

goals.

This section could have easily been called “The Good, the Bad and the

Ugly”.

The GOOD news is that not all restaurants are created equal.

The BAD news is that not all restaurants are created equal.

The UGLY is in the kitchen and in your food.

Seriously you need to think about the worst of the worst. Just watch Chef

Gordon Ramsay and his “Kitchen Nightmare” show on TV. It’s disgusting

some of the things he exposes. I mean he literally finds green meat in the

bottom of freezers and oozing brown vegetables sitting in bins in the walk

in coolers of dozens of restaurants around the world...

And that is the exact same food they are serving you.

Why am I telling you this?

A sick and toxic body will do you absolutely NO good no matter what your

goals are. Don’t get me wrong you might lose weight eating at the wrong

Page 10: RESTAURANT REVENGE

SUCCESSFUL STRATEGIES AND SOLUTIONS FOR FAT LOSS ON THE RUN 10

restaurants but it won’t be the weight you wanted to lose and here’s the

kicker...

As soon as you get better it’s all coming back and maybe even more with

less muscle then before you got sick eating at that sketchy restaurant.

The only thing that really SUCKS is that you can’t tell the difference from

the good, the bad or the ugly restaurants.

Even if you do your homework and you know which dinner joint is 5 star

approved or made it to the top of the Zagat report, that just means

someone likes them or they snuck one past the inspector this time.

Alright how can I keep you from getting sick and puking your hard earned

muscle down the toilet...I will put this as simply as possible and a few rules

when dinning out to keep you fit and healthy.

Work Hard, Train Smart, Eat Smarter

Skip the shady joints and dirt dives. Pay a little more to eat in a better

restaurant.

Torch it... I hate the idea of adding carcinogens (burnt and charred) to my

meats, and I hate a dry slab of meat, but if you’re concerned, get it well

done

Alright all that scary stuff aside let’s dive into a few tricks that will keep you

on track and burning fat with a metabolism that doesn’t quit... and I am not

talking from behind some lab coat, I am talking applied, tried and true

strategies that helped me drop slabs of fat while eating out at 60% of the

time with a heavy travel schedule and you can do the same.

Page 11: RESTAURANT REVENGE

SUCCESSFUL STRATEGIES AND SOLUTIONS FOR FAT LOSS ON THE RUN 11

RESTAURANT REVENGE: STRATEGY

Alright we all need to have a strategy and if we don’t have one, we need to

at least acknowledge that there is one out there even if we choose not to

follow it.

I want to give you a better idea on this “strategy” thing.

Let’s say we are going into battle in the military (we did this sort of thing all

the time when I was in the Royal Canadian Armoured Corps... and for good

reason). We will map out not one, not two but three, four, sometimes many

more game plans to succeed on our manoeuvres and accomplish our task

with as little collateral damage and casualties as possible.

Now to be very honest, these plans we spent days and hours on went out

the window the moment we got into the heavy stuff. However it was the

sum of those parts that came together and made it possible to function

together with the right team and complete our mission.

I promise you this. You have the right team leader, you have the right team

and you have the right motivation to accomplish your mission, even if it’s

derailed and you end up eating out more than you intentionally planned.

So... Are you ready to take up the challenge and accept this mission to

banish fat and bad dinning to accomplish your fat loss goals even on the

move?

Let’s get this mission started.

RESTAURANT REVENGE: 7 Success Strategies and 1 Sneaky Trick

for Fat Loss When Eating Out

Be Compliant

Yeah, I know, I am the last guy that listens to others and I usually suggest

you buck the trend too. Actually I like to find what 98% of the people are

running to and sprint the exact opposite direction.

In this case I am telling you to be compliant to me and your game plan.

Now compliant and perfect adherence to the dictator dietician are different

altogether, but very important.

If you truly want 100% perfect results then stick to your plan 100% and skip

the restaurant altogether. Let’s be honest perfection is not always possible,

in fact I often times say if you are looking for perfect, then you are looking

for failure.

So what is the solution, how can you be “compliant” rather than dictated to

and forced to be perfect with something you can’t stand. Well that’s easy,

its all about compliance. Compliance means you will do your best to do

your best. Now there is all sorts of compliance, like labelling compliance,

which means that to the best of their knowledge what’s on the label is in the

box and that matches precisely. But then there is compliance that is good

enough. Kind of like “meat glue”, its not illegal, but the stuff can kill you, but

at the same time it is not required to mark it on the label, so in the end you

get 100% meat, but its only a portion of prime rib, the rest is meat glued

together to make a steak. Now that is a bad compliance example… let me

give you a good one.

Page 13: RESTAURANT REVENGE

SUCCESSFUL STRATEGIES AND SOLUTIONS FOR FAT LOSS ON THE RUN 13

The kind of compliance I am talking about is compliance to your nutrition

program. I like to tell my clients to go 90% compliance each week. What

does that mean?

What that means is that out of the week you can

eat “off plan” 10% of the time. It could be a

reward meal, a honey I screwed up meal or I am

on the road and left the cooler on the roof of the

car to fall off 50 miles back, there’s no way I am

going back and I am starving right now got to

eat kind of compliance… YEAH I’ve been there

before, half way between here and nowhere. It

SUCKS!

So if you know or if you are using your

Transformation Tracker App with Meal Tracking

and Food Journaling features then you are going to quickly and easily be

able to see if you are 90% compliant and can allow yourself the grace of an

unscheduled meal on the road.

The concept of 90% compliance is that it allows for a screw up. It also

allows one to be rewarded once a week for doing a great job… but only if

you are on track or ahead of your fat loss game plan.

So do your best as often as possible to stay on plan so you can get away

with eating out once in a while.

When eating out, do your best to stick to your plan. If you were to have 4

ounces of meat, a baked potato and salad with nuts, then you can order

that exact meal at most restaurants.

Page 14: RESTAURANT REVENGE

SUCCESSFUL STRATEGIES AND SOLUTIONS FOR FAT LOSS ON THE RUN 14

Follow The Rules

There are so many rules in nutrition these days, but for some reason no

one has written a set of rules that works when dinning in a restaurant, so

here you go.

Stick to the Plan. Eat as close to your plan as you can

Proteins First. Select your meal by the protein serving first, then the sides.

High Quality Proteins. Order high quality protein sources

Eat Bright Colors. Look for bright colourful dishes, not potatoes or white

rice… you can have those, but choose color and flavours first

Water and Lemon. Drink 1-2 glasses of water with lemon before you eat

anything… even before you order. Water fills you up. It satisfies your brain

and the lemon helps to increase digestion and helps to alkaline your body

for the feast that is coming.

Water and Wait. Drink your water and wait 20 minutes before you eat

anything as it will help satisfy your brain and fill the empty spaces, helping

you make more rational food decisions later.

Salads – this one goes two ways.

Salad Option 1: Increased Fill – this is all about helping fill the belly and

that means eat your salad first, before the main course as it lays a bed in

your stomach on which the meal sits and digests over time and you feel

fuller longer.

Salad Option 2: Increased Digestion – this is to help you digest that

massive meal better. To do that it means you need to eat your meal

accordingly, pace yourself and save room for your salad after dinner and

before desert.

Page 15: RESTAURANT REVENGE

SUCCESSFUL STRATEGIES AND SOLUTIONS FOR FAT LOSS ON THE RUN 15

Dessert. Eat it. Yeah totally odd coming from a nutritionist, but if you are

only eating out at a restaurant 1-2 times a week and you are sticking to

plan and eating sensibly, then its OK to eat an intelligent desert that

completely satisfies your taste buds, your gut and your brain. So eat

dessert if you have been compliant thru the week and your restaurant meal.

Drink Wine. Well this one I will suggest you stay away as much as

possible for real fat loss, but if you feel the need, then to have a glass of

wine in place of a potato, then you can do it… as long as it’s one a week,

not every day and every meal. I can’t help you lose weight with that plan

and I certainly cannot help you with liver cirrhosis and halitosis, but I can

direct you to a local clinic if you need help.

Plan Ahead

OK this one is pretty simple. Plan ahead, pack a bag and avoid the

restaurant for serious fat loss, but if you are going out with friends for

dinner, you can still plan ahead.

You choose the type of restaurant you want to eat at. Let your friends

know you want a serious protein meal with clean foods, not fat and fast

foods. Trust me, everyone will appreciate the meal and the honesty when

you do. Not everyone will pay more for a good meal on their own, but

when a group gathers they will and thank you for the suggestion later.

The best part is you look like a hero and you stick to your plan.

Page 16: RESTAURANT REVENGE

SUCCESSFUL STRATEGIES AND SOLUTIONS FOR FAT LOSS ON THE RUN 16

Eat Often

OK this is a pretty solid one that everyone likes to hear and do, but it is

more than that. Eating often means small meals. It helps condition your

brain and body to be accustomed to smaller meals. In turn you are a

creature of habit and order meals that will satisify you, rather than buying in

bulk, if you know what I mean.

Eating often means you also have all day energy and your body stores less

fat than if you ate only one or two massive meals a day. This means when

you do over eat at a restaurant your body will not punish you for it and in

fact will burn more calories to help keep the excess from storing as fat.

Eating often also means you are mentally satisfied most of the time and

that means you won’t feel the need to binge or stuff your face or eat the

deserts that always look better when you are hungry.

Eat Before You Eat

This sounds stupid I know. But I mean it. Eat as you always do according

to your plan. But if you are almost to your next meal and you know you are

going out to eat with friends, I suggest you have a small protein and fat rich

meal about 20-30 minutes before you go out to eat.

This fills the gut and satisfies the brain, thus giving you less reason to over

eat at the restaurant.

A few pre meal tricks is to have a chicken breast, a slice of beef or cheese

before you go out to eat. My personal favourite is a straight up vanilla

protein shake with natural peanut butter. WHY? Well it satisfies and fills

the gut. It satiates the brain and it will NOT spike your insulin so you can

Page 17: RESTAURANT REVENGE

SUCCESSFUL STRATEGIES AND SOLUTIONS FOR FAT LOSS ON THE RUN 17

keep blood sugars level and keep burning fat all day long or at least until

desert.

Drink Lots

I totally mean that one. Drink as much water as you can. Seriously make

your eyeballs float.

However you have to stick to the rules… by “Drink Lots” I mean water,

lemon water, sparkling water.

I do NOT mean drink lots of pop, diet pop, wine or beer. Did you really

think I meant that? I really hope not.

Enjoy Every Bite

Totally dive into every single bite. Do more than that. Actually think about

the food you are eating. Eat it until it is tiny micro pieces of the forkful you

just put in your mouth. Over chew it, over enjoy it and take your time.

Studies show that when you eat distracted (watching TV, driving, working,

computer surfing, etc…) you actually consume more calories and enjoy

them less, which also leads to a second problem and that comes from the

same study that shows that distracted eaters in fact will eat a snack within

20-40 minutes of the distracted meal resulting in an additional un planned

20% of daily calories most typically from a high carb and sugar snack.

I want you to pick a restaurant where you can stay focused and truly listen

and enjoy your friends and your meal. You and your waistline will thank me

for that one.

Page 18: RESTAURANT REVENGE

SUCCESSFUL STRATEGIES AND SOLUTIONS FOR FAT LOSS ON THE RUN 18

Also along the lines of enjoying every meal with your friends un-distracted, I

want you to chew your food often. Seriously if you are to enjoy your meal

then do it right. Chew it 20 times each bite. The flavours will explode in

your mouth around 15. The food will breakdown and digest to its fullest

and it will slide down your oesophagus with ease so as not to damage your

linings on the way down like a half chewed chunk of crud. This is called

mastication, it means mechanical digestion and it is part of the complete

digestion process.

Think of mastication like this. Think back to a big broccoli salad that you

never really wanted, but rushed down barely chewing it as it passed your

lips on its way to your stomach. Now think about that same meal 4 hours

later and the horrible gas, burps, indigestion and pure gut rot you had.

That is simply because you did not start digestion sufficiently with

mastication.

So what am I saying… mastication, mastication, mastication

I just like saying that word, mastication, don’t you?

Also while you are sitting there eating and chewing your meal a million

times, I want you to think about where the food was grown, what the fields

and farms look like in those areas, picture the sunset, the waterfalls and the

open fields from where your food came and more flavours will start to

blossom in your mouth and increase the complete epicurean experience.

Ask your waiter all about the food, the manager might know more and for a

real treat ask to meet chef. He will get a real kick out of it and share some

amazing insight on how your meal came to be, was prepared and who

knows maybe even teach you some tricks of the trade so you can try it at

home.

Or just enjoy every bite to its fullest.

1 Sneaky Trick for Fat Loss When Eating Out

Before you head out take 1 multi vitamin mineral and a glass of water with

lemon.

This little trick can save you hundreds of calories.

Why does this work. Well the water fills your gut, but the vitamins and

minerals satiate your brain.

This helps you control hunger and choose your meals for taste not volume.

I have been known to take a gallon of water and 2 or 3 vitamins with me

when going out with friends when dieting for a show.

Actually when I was getting ready for one show and we liked to hit the bars,

I would walk straight up to the waitress, give her ten bucks and ask her to

bring me a pitcher of water with lemon and keep it coming all night while

my buddies got blasted with fat bloating beer bombs.

This water and vitamin trick kept me on track many times and it will work for

you too, especially between meals when you really don’t want to eat and

break your compliance plan.

1 MORE Sneaky Trick to LOSE Even More Fat When Dinning Out

Pop one of your favourite fat burners about 20 minutes before you eat. The

caffeine will help the brain feel satisfied by releasing some unique

chemicals that have an affinity to the adrenal receptors to release

endorphins making food taste better and the brain that helps feel more

satisfied so you in turn enjoy your meal more and eat less.

Page 20: RESTAURANT REVENGE

SUCCESSFUL STRATEGIES AND SOLUTIONS FOR FAT LOSS ON THE RUN 20

RESTAURANT REVENGE: YOUR GAME PLAN

Alright now you know some of the 7 simple rules and 1 sneaky trick for fat

loss while dining out its time to put together a simple game plan for you to

succeed with your fat loss when eating at restaurants.

How to Choose Your Meal

Select a meal for its protein. Aim for 15-30 grams of clean protein

Choose a meal that is loaded with veggies, spices and flavours

Have a meal that comes with condiments on the side, not already dressed.

This alone can save your 200 plus calories and 30 minutes running hills.

Replace butter and salad dressing with olive oil. Another huge calorie

savings there and a lot better in terms of health too. It costs them nothing,

and the waiter doesn’t really care as long as it means more service and

more tips, so ask for what you want.

Order a meal that has grains like rice or quinoa over potatoes and potatoes

over breads and pastas. This will help with keeping your blood sugar low

since they are lower on the GI than white bread.

… And if you don’t see what you want on the menu… ASK FOR IT. Most

restaurants will gladly give you want as long as it means more sales and a

satisfied customer that will come back and tell all their friends about the

fantastic service and treatment they got.

How To Eat Your Meal

Drink Plenty of Water…

Page 21: RESTAURANT REVENGE

SUCCESSFUL STRATEGIES AND SOLUTIONS FOR FAT LOSS ON THE RUN 21

Eat Your Protein First – this will help you get all the good stuff you need

before you start filling up on anything else. Also note the if you want to

indulge in anything and stay on the fat burning metabolic thermo charge

kick, then the one to choose is protein and not bread or chocolate cake.

Eat about 15-30 grams of Protein per meal.

Drink More Water…

Eat Your Fats – this is number two since fat has no impact on your blood

sugar and insulin. Eat your fats before or with your vegetables. Eat about

5-10 grams of Fat per meal.

Drink Even More Water…

Eat Your Veggies – this helps increase digestion and give you a lot of

vitamins and minerals that help heal the body and satiate the brain so you

don’t eat too many empty calories or junk out later. Eat about 15-20 grams

of veggies… or more

Drink More Water, Especially Now…

Eat Your Starchy Carbs – in this order you will likely skip or eat less potato,

bread or pasta since you will be satisfied with your meal and this is where

the real success comes in eating out with success for fat loss. Eat 15-20

grams starchy Carbs per meal, no more. Eat less if you intend to eat

dessert.

Drink More Water

Eat Your Dessert – well I sneak this in, because I love desserts and I am

not the dictator dietician some have come to know me as. Unless you are

on a solid track for bikini season, fitness modelling or sports performance

and are one of my personal private clients I will say as long as you are 90%

compliant with your eating plan during the week it is totally cool to have

Page 22: RESTAURANT REVENGE

SUCCESSFUL STRATEGIES AND SOLUTIONS FOR FAT LOSS ON THE RUN 22

dessert or a glass of wine. I like white, but drink red for the increased anti-

oxidants and because my wife likes reds. Eat ONE medium sized dessert

only if you moderated your carbs or have one glass of wine in place

of starchy carbs or dessert.

Go to the bathroom… when you come back to the table, after you

thoroughly wash your hands, drink some more water before you leave and

help your body stay hydrated and keep the meal digesting at its highest as

well as wash away the toxins.

Page 23: RESTAURANT REVENGE

SUCCESSFUL STRATEGIES AND SOLUTIONS FOR FAT LOSS ON THE RUN 23

CLOSING

There is so much more I would love to cover with you but that would take

another book and a half, let alone a free report.

We are all different and our bodies respond differently and we have

different needs, but you need to get a game plan for your meals, get a

game plan for eating on the run and do your best to be 100% complaint…

at least 90% of the time if you really want to lose the fat once and for all

and win while eating at restaurants.

As a nutritionist who is holistically trained and performance applied I know

the real life ins and outs, the trial by fires and how difficult life can be when

working on a successful diet strategy.

It gets even worse if you have 3 kids and several businesses like me, but

you can do it and you can win the war on fat even when eating on the run

in even the worst restaurants in the world.

Even the fast food joints have healthy food these days. Sure it costs a lot

more and it tastes a bit bland, but it’s there and in a pinch it will keep you

tided over and healthier than eating from their regular menu. Here is a few

tips I got off the back of one of the largest restaurant [read: donut,

doughnut and coffee] chains in Canada.

Before you think I am bashing on them, this is one of my favourite teat

stops for me and the family, but all I ever get there is “timbits”. We grab a

20 pack and that means 3 each with a few left over for the kids lunch the

next day. It happens to be one of the better fast food joints nutritionally

speaking, but even then its usually too many carb calories for a solid fat

Page 24: RESTAURANT REVENGE

SUCCESSFUL STRATEGIES AND SOLUTIONS FOR FAT LOSS ON THE RUN 24

loss program… unless of course you are having a black coffee or green

tea.

Healthful Hints from “Tim” [ahem]

A balanced lifestyle includes staying active and making healthy eating

choices. [duh]

Chose a low fat option

Try a soup that is low in fat like our Chicken Noodle

Our Low Fat Muffins contain only 2.5g of fat [yeah right… and 60-80

grams of simple sugar, flour and some preserved fruit chunks or jam]

Any size Iced Cappaccino made with milk or chocolate milk contains

less than 2.5g of fat [again with 60-120 grams of sugar]

Chose a Source of Fibre

Try our chilli, it’s a source of fibre

Bran and Whole Grain muffins are high in fibre [thanks]

Bran and Whole Wheat Homestyle Bun and add 2g of fibre to your

sandwich [sensible]

Choose A Source of Calcium

Yogurt and berries is a source of calcium [too bad they use high

sugar and fructose versions]

Add Cheddar or Swiss Cheese to your sandwich [and a whack of

preservatives]

Iced Capp, Cappaccino and Iced Coffee are sources of calcium

[…and sugar and fat and calories]

Page 25: RESTAURANT REVENGE

SUCCESSFUL STRATEGIES AND SOLUTIONS FOR FAT LOSS ON THE RUN 25

MORE HINTS

Try 2% milk or 1% chocolate milk instead of cream in your beverage

Add Flavour without calories to your beverage with our calorie free

flavoured shots [with aspartame I might add]

Order your breakfast sandwich on a low fat bagel like honey’n’wheat

[with only 60-80 grams of carbs]

Try one of our light cream cheeses on your bagel [see previous note]

Treat yourself to three filled or yeast timbits for a snack with fewer

than 200 calories [yeah 200 more than you really needed in the first

place and more than your fat loss nutrition plan calls for… just stick to

black coffee and green tea and increase your fat burning while

avoiding the temptations]

So there you have it, lots of reasons to help you succeed eating on the run

and dinning in restaurants for fat loss.

All that said I do have to be a dictator dietician now and suggest that you

stay away from restaurants as much as possible for the best fat loss results

you can come across. At the same time, I have to say its not total futility to

eat out when dieting for fat loss and you can win and have your revenge on

the restaurants that made you gain all that weight in the first place and you

can do it dining at their very table if you so choose.
