Going to a restaurant this weekend?

Don’t worry. Just because you are on a diet it doesn’t mean you have to close yourself to the world. Here are a few tips to help you get through it:

·         Decide where you are going ahead of time, then go the restaurant’s website and look through the menu to see what low cal choices they have. If they don’t have healthy choices and you can’t pick another place, ask for a plain grilled chicken breast or a steak with a veggie. Most restaurants can accommodate that.

·         Decide on your ENTIRE meal before you get to the restaurant. Once you get there don’t bother looking at the menu. You already know what your're, don’t temp yourself.

·         If you feel you might be too tempted at the restaurant, have a snack before you get there.

·         Bring packets of Stevia with you for the Iced tea or drink water with lime, which I find really refreshing.

·         Once there enjoy yourself. Don’t dwell on what you can’t eat; rather focus on how great you will feel once you lose those extra pounds.

·         Order fresh fruit for dessert.

·         Smile and enjoy your friends and family ! J
