More Good Ideas for Healthy Dining
1. Before going out, grab a light snack or beverage to take the edge off your hunger.
2. Drink water or sugarless beverages like diet soda or iced tea.
3. First eat the low-calorie foods on your plate such as the green salad or steamed vegetables, so you'll be less hungry for the higher calorie ones.
4. Ask for dressing and sauces to be served on the side so you can use less.
5. Order vegetables with a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese instead of butter.
6. If you order dessert, choose one that is all or mostly made of fruit and share.
