If your answer is ‘Yes’, brilliant!
Why you may ask?
Because today I want to share with you Healthy ‘Dining out’ tips
That you can start using immediately
AND…. Will help keep you on your quest to ‘LOOKING GOOD NAKED’
Great!
Do I have your attention?
I know you want to hear more
But first….
In order for you to successfully use these tips in a more mindful manner
We need to raise your ‘AWARENESS’ of what happens when you ‘Dine out’
Especially when surrounded by friends
AWARENESS is the ‘First step to creating any change’
So please identify which statement ‘when dining out’ most applies to you:
a) You choose Healthy choices that are similar to your daily habits
b) Eat what everyone else is having
c) Treat yourself to whatever you want
d) Dissect the menu from top to bottom, annoy everyone & order something with 21 substitutes
e) Have no self control and end up in a Food Coma *cough* Porkies
Did at least one statement seem familiar?
Or perhaps it’s a little of all of the above?
You can still have a fun night out and be conscious about what you consume
As a BIG part of HEALTHY LIVING is to be able to make SMART CHOICES
FOUR HEALTH-SMART TIPS TO DINE OUT
1. Pre-plan what you will be ordering
So, in the 21st century and such you’re actually able to access most restaurants menus online.
This is great because it actually allows you to do 2 things.
- Get excited about the meal you’re about to share with friends and family
- Allow you to make any adjustments for your overall consumption for the day.
So now, any stress or anxiety about eating out and whether or not the place actually has food you like is gone, and more importantly you can make an informed decision on something that is going to taste amazing and help you reach your goals.
Win – win if you ask me!
Consider Best options
Let’s assume you are
1. Trying to lose fat
2. Eating a relatively high protein diet (minimum 2g per kg of bodyweight)
Focus on lean protein options:
Grilled chicken (should be skinless)
Grilled Fish
Lean cuts of Pork & Beef (eye of round, Sirloin Tip, top round, bottom round, top sirloin)
Most Game meats
Fresh seafood
AND…..
Fill up on Non-starchy vegetables such as a greens or carrots. This is a perfect place to substitute chips for something with a little more crunch
Be sure to watch out for things like:
• Dressing/toppings – order your meal with these on the side (this also has the added benefit of the restaurant not drowning your food in sauce)
• Nuts
• Cheese
• Breading
• Skin
• Oil/butter – ask the waiter that your food be prepared without the extra
• Sauces – be mindful
Other little tips include
Skip the entrée and just order the main
Drink plenty of water
