Eat Out - Without Gaining a
Pound
Steer clear of menu pitfalls with these tips from our experts Hope S Warshaw and Cheryl
Forberg:
 |
Order it your way. You’re the customer, and most restaurants will do everything they can to keep you happy. So don’t be afraid to have that shrimp special grilled instead of fried. |
|
Think
tapas. Don’t feel compelled to order an entrée. You can put together a healthier meal out of two or three appetizers and side dishes. |
|
Beware of the four Cs – crunchy, cheesy, crispy, and creamy. Those words are code for fat-dense foods. |
|
Say bye-bye to bread. There’s no need to test your willpower. Take just one slice, then ask the waiter to remove that breadbasket from the table. |
|
Undress your salad. Dilute your favorite salad dressing with a squeeze of lemon or a few drops of vinegar. |
|
Get your doggy bag up front. Wrap up half before you dig in – out of sight, out of mind…and mouth. |
