The weekend usually means some diversionary fun times, and for many of us, a meal or two out is something we ook forward to. When youy are in a weight-losing mode, it is important to not only make the right choices in the restaurant, but it also is very helpful to choose the right type of venue that is compatible with your plans.
As success for long term weight loss requires an emphasis on proteins and vegetables, most restaurants offer many compatible choices. Appetizers of seafood or salads followed by a large protein dish with vegetables are easily found at most restaurants.
It is the "peripherals" that can demage your entire week of hard work on becoming healthier and happier. Peripherals? The predinner alcohol, wine with dinner, bread and butter brought before the food, the potatoes that are a part of the main dish and of course that ultimate dessert tray choice.
Buffets?? Fuggetaboutit....They test the very fabric of human nature..avoid them!
You can go out and have a great time and stil make those choices that keep you on goal. Check out the restaurant menu on line and even think about the choices before you go. Losing weight requires planning...so plan to go to a restaurant that allows you all the fun but not all of the calories. And do NOT give into the pressure of others at the table to share a dessert!
