10 Tips for Healthy Dining
Numerous
business
lunches and dinners can be lethal to your waistline.
Practice these simple tips to keep it under control.
1.
Order a half portion, lunch-size portion, or kids meal.
2.
Order a to-go box with your meal. When
the meal arrives, put half of it into the box right away.
3.
Indulge in dessert, but ask to see the dessert tray so
that you can see portion sizes before ordering.
 4.
Ask the waiter to split one dessert between everyone at
the table.
5.
Get rid of the breadbasket or put it out of reach.
6.
Have your meal (including vegetables) prepared without butter
or oil.
7.
Ask for sauces and dressings to be served on the side.
8.
Substitute steamed vegetables for rice, potatoes, or pasta.
9.
Avoid alcohol. For a festive alternative, try cranberry
juice with diet ginger ale or Sprite.
10.
Use artificial sweetener in your coffee, and ask for skim
milk rather than cream. |
