Healthy
eating tips
work very
well when
you are at
home and can
control how
you prepare
food. But
what happens
when you
decide to
eat out?
If you are
serious
about eating
healthy to
lose weight,
you can
still go out
to a
restaurant
and enjoy a
nice meal.
You just
need to be
aware of
what is
going to be
offered and
decide to
make good
choices.
Remember,
eating
healthy to
lose weight
is one
choice at a
time and
eventually
it will
become a way
of life for
you.
When eating
out, here
are some
good healthy
food
alternative
tips for
you.
Always drink
water, diet
soda, or tea
instead of
regular soda
or beverages
that contain
sugar or
alcohol.
A good
healthy
eating tip
is order a
salad
because it
fills you
up, is low
in fat and
is loaded
with
vitamins.
Get your
dressings or
sauces on
the side,
because you
have control
over how
much you
add.
Here is a
little
trick, dip
your fork in
your salad
dressing
just before
you fork
your salad.
You still
taste the
dressing but
it cuts down
on the
amount you
use.
Another
healthy
eating tip
if you
choose a
soup is,
stay away
from cream
based soups
because they
are higher
in fat than
other soups.
A soup can
be a great
appetizer,
because most
are low in
calories and
fill you up
pretty fast.
When you
order
grilled fish
or
vegetables,
ask that the
food be
grilled
without
butter or
oil, or
prepared
with very
little. Oil
and butter
will
increase
your fat
intake and
why eat
exactly what
you are
trying to
lose?
When you
order pasta
dishes,
stick to
tomato based
sauces
instead of
the cream
based
sauces.
Tomato based
sauces are
much lower
in fat and a
great
healthy food
alternative.
When
ordering a
baked
potato, ask
for salsa
instead of
sour cream,
butter,
cheese, or
even bacon.
Salsa is
very low in
calories and
provides a
healthy food
alternative
with plenty
of flavor
and spice.
When you are
full, stop
eating. It
takes your
brain about
20 minutes
to register
that your
stomach is
full. So
slow down to
taste and
savor every
bite.
Remember you
are eating
healthy to
lose weight
so don't be
afraid to
take half of
your meal
home. The
second
portion of
your meal
can be
another meal
later. This
way, you get
two meals
for the
price of
one.
Here are a
couple of
other
healthy
eating tips.
You can
always order
two
appetizers
or an
appetizer
and a salad
as your
meal.
Always look
for food on
the menu
that's
baked,
grilled,
broiled,
poached, or
steamed.
These types
of cooking
use less fat
in the
cooking
process.
As key
ingredients
to your
meal, choose
dishes with
fruits and
vegetables.
Fruits and
vegetables
are great
sources of
dietary
fiber and
have lots of
vitamins and
minerals.
Choose foods
made with
whole
grains, such
as whole
wheat bread
and dishes
made with
brown rice.
If you crave
dessert,
look for
something
with low
fat, such as
berries or
fruit.
Always
remember not
to deprive
yourself of
the foods
you truly
love. All
types of
foods can
fit into a
well
balanced
diet.
Eating
healthy to
lose weight
is a great
choice. Use
these
healthy
eating tips
next time
you eat out
and you can
still enjoy
weight loss
success.
