Healthy Eating Tip – Dining Out and Healthy Eating

Many of us feel that when we are trying to lose weight or just
trying to keep up a healthy eating style, that we need to cut
dining out of our lives. Not true! We can enjoy dining out just
as much as we did before as long as we know how to do it.

When going to a restaurant, either call ahead to ask some of
these questions or ask your server if they • Serve margarine
instead of butter • Provide fat free (skim) milk instead of
whole milk or creamer • Serve salad dressing on the side • Cut
off any visible fat from meat or poultry • Grant special requests

Make your meal selection based on how the food is prepared. Here
are some healthy choices: • Steamed • Broiled • Baked • Poached
• Roasted • Garden Fresh

Try to avoid ordering any appetizers and try not to grab for
bread. You can even ask your server to not bother bringing bread
to the table. Going out to dinner is usually a treat to
ourselves, so if you want to splurge a little, have a half a
piece of bread or order half of an appetizer to split with the
others you are dining with. Same with desserts, share a dessert
and only have one or two tastes.

Don’t skip those going out to dinner plans, just make healthier
choices. For more articles on healthy eating to go :
