Tips To Eating Healthy At Restaurants

Familiarize Yourself With The Menu Before You Go.

Most restaurant’s menus can be found online. If you are interested in eating at a restaurant, check out their website to review their menu before you go. Plan your meal ahead of time. Choosing what you will eat before getting to the restaurant will make it easier to avoid snap decisions when you are hungry and bombarded with views and smells of different dishes that may not be so healthy.

Have A Small Healthy Snack Before You Arrive At The Restaurant.

If you are hungry when you arrive at a restaurant, you may end up overeating. A healthy snack and a glass of water before you arrive will curb your appetite and prevent overeating.

Drink Water Instead Of Sugary Drinks. If Drinking Alcohol, Stick To Low Calorie Alcohol Options.

Sugary drinks like soda or fruit juices are loaded with calories. Instead, choose healthy options like water. If you are indulging in alcoholic drinks, many spirits are low calorie with little to no sugar. Most calories come from the mixers. Be sure to choose low sugar, low calorie mixes like diet sodas or seltzer water.

Take Your Time Eating.

Take the time to enjoy the aromas and flavors of your meal. Chew your food thoroughly before swallowing. Several studies show that people with weight problems tend to chew their food less than normal weight people. Slow eating can help with digestion and make you feel fuller faster. Putting your utensils down after each bite is a good way to slow down.

Drink Tea Or Coffee Instead Of Having Dessert.

If you are with others and they want to order dessert, order a hot drink. Tea or coffee are a great choice to end a dinner with, leaving you with a satisfied feeling while keeping your calories in check.

Choose Healthy Sides.

If your meal comes with sides, most restaurants offer healthy options like steamed vegetables. If healthy sides are limited, you can always order the same side twice.
