Tips on How to Eat at Restaurants
One of the most common problems people
have with losing weight is pitfalls like the restaurant scene. Here
are a few ways you can control the urge to live it up:
1) As soon as your food is served, ask for a box
and put half of your meal into it, to take home. Restaurant portions
are usually twice the size they should be anyway.
2) Don't ruin a nice, low fat salad with creamy dressing.
Go for the vinaigrette or oil and vinegar, and use them sparingly.
3) Don't let yourself down by getting (or sharing)
a dessert. Order some fruit or Jell-O instead, if you must have something
sweet.
4) Arrive with a healthy meal in mind and ask for it
without opening your menu. This will spare you the pain of looking at
an array of temptation.
5) After each bite, put your fork down, and don't pick
it up again until you've completely swallowed the last bite.
6) Drink a glass of skim milk before you leave your
house.
7) Look for restaurants that serve "contemporary",
"spa" or "California" cuisine.
8) When ordering seafood, choose the leanest types,
such as haddock, sole, scrod, orange roughy, scallops, shrimp and crab.
