difficult because you can't plan for what is on the menu. Here are so tips
that will make eating out easier.
- Try not to order fried to saute foods which
is loaded in fat.
- At fast food restaurants order small fries
instead of medium. Reducing quantity will reduce your temptation.
- Avoid alcohol which is loaded with sugar and
calories. Drink tea or diet soda.
- Divide your restaurant portions in half or
place one third on the side and take it to go for lunch the next day.
- When served bread and butter at a
restaurant, skip it and have soup instead which will fill you up and has less
calories.
- Ask for salad dressing to be placed on the
side so you can control the portions.
- Ordered steamed or baked items which will
reduce fat from oil.
- Fish makes a great meal, try steamed salmon
with a side of vegetables.
- Order an appetizer instead of an entree
which will reduce your serving size and is often filling on its on.
- Remember to enjoy yourself, just because
your on a diet, doesn't mean you need to end your social life. So go out
and enjoy even if it means you didn't stick to your diet for one evening.
Beware of social sabotage. Some of you
friends or family may not as supportive as you think they will be. Prepare
yourself to hear things like why are you bothering to diet again.
Though many of your friends or family will be supportive there is always a black
sheep that will make you feel like a failure. Push their opinions to the
side and remember that you losing weight for yourself and not to please anyone
else.
