Healthy Restaurant Eating
With the portion sizes being offered at restaurants these days, deciding to eat out can be a major roadblock in your weight loss plan. Many restaurants now offer healthier options that can fit into your plan. The following list of pointers can help you make food selections that'll fit into your plan.

Tips to Make the Right Choices at Restaurants:

• Ask for dressings to be served on the side such as salad dressings or other condiments like mayonnaise. Always ask for the light or low-fat version of your dressing.
• If you decide to treat yourself with a dessert share with a friend. Try to make healthier options such as sherbet with fruit or angel food cake instead of brownies.
• Ask your server to immediately wrap up half your order in a doggie bag. That way you'll be less likely to polish off the entire serving and will have leftovers for the next day.
• When ordering vegetables or pasta request minimal amount of oil and butter.
• If you're having rice or bread always ask for the whole grain variety or brown version as opposed to white.
• Choose items that are baked, grilled, steamed or poached rather than fried or breaded.
• When choosing dairy products always order the light or low-fat version.
• Jumbo, giant and super-sized options may be more economical but they also contain more fat, calories, sodium and cholesterol. Order regular versions instead of supersizing.
• Avoid buffets or all-you-can-eat restaurants. You will consume many more calories than needed and it's more difficult to stay on track.
• Don't be shy to ask your server how your dish is prepared. Avoid options fried in oil or rich in creamy sauces. You can usually ask for custom-made orders that can cut down on fattening ingredients.
