Effective Fat Loss Strategies When Dining Out

7 Effetive Fat Loss Strategies
When Dining Out

1. Develop a plan in advance. Look at the restaurant menu
online and decide on the healthiest option that you’d enjoy …
and stick to it.
2. Eat a small, healthy snack before dining out. If you’re
pleasantly hungry, rather than starved, you can relax, eat
slowly and enjoy the meal, rather than risk losing control by
overeating unhealthy foods.
3. Load up on vegetables. Unless they are friend or soaked in
butter or oil, you cannot go wrong with veggies because they
are very low in calories, high in iber and loaded with other
beneicial nutrients, and have almost no adverse aff ect on
blood sugar levels.
4. Include a lean protein source. For example, if you order a
large salad, ask the waiter to add grilled chicken or cottage
cheese.
5. Make simple, healthier changes to the meals you enjoy.
If you only order what you think you “should” rather than
what you really want, you may be satisfied physically, but not
psychologically … and will most likely crave something more
… and end up making poor choices later on.
6. Drink plenty of water and eat slowly.
7. Listen to your body and stop eating when you begin to feel
full, not necessarily when your plate is empty.
No one says
you have to eat the entire meal – box it up and enjoy the rest
later.

this is good to know. how many times do we go out, order appetizers that are hi in fat content and nibble on them when we are starved. order a healthier meal and cannot finish the meal cause we ate appetizers that filled us up.
