Since my diagnosis, I've felt pretty left out. Many social activities revolve around eating and drinking, and now that I have dietary restrictions to cope with, I haven't been invited to or involved with many gatherings. Even at work, my co-workers don't ask if I want to "do" lunch anymore, and on ordering-in days, my cubicle is skipped over.
At home, we haven't been eating out nearly as much as we used to, except for a few times when we'd hit up Culver's and I'd order a salad. This is good, because it's saving us a lot of money -- and fast food is a meal option that's healthy for us to miss out on, anyway.
It's just that I miss it. A lot. Eating out is a hard habit to break, made even more depressing by the fact that I don't have many (any?) good gluten-free fast food options.
Until now, that is! My friend (and fellow celiac) suggested I try Jimmy Johns' "Unwiches."
These tasty morsels are just like their sub sandwiches, except they're wrapped up in crisp lettuce instead of warm bread. They're a little bit messier to eat, but they taste amazing -- and the best part is, they're healthy and gluten-free!
It's nice to have an option that fits great with my nutrition plan (lean protein + complex carbs in one wrap!) that I can enjoy while out with family and friends. Even if you're not on a gluten-free plan, I highly recommend trying an Unwich!
