Eating Out Tips

Great tips were shared in my meetings a couple weeks ago of how to eat out and enjoy, yet stay on program.

-Have something light to eat (fruit, vegetable, ff yogurt, ff milk) before going out to avoid being famished.
-Drink water before and during your meal (helps to slow eating down).
-Be assertive with waitstaff how you would like your food prepared or what substitutions you want.
-Ask for foods to be "dry grilled" (no butter , margarine, or oil).
-Package half your entree to go as soon as it comes to the table.
-Share an entree with someone.
-Refuse the bread on the table.

Remember... "Small portions today, small jean sizes tomorrow!"
