When you’re eating out, it’s often hard not to overeat. Here are some simple tips for eating healthier<\/a> at a restaurant:<\/span><\/p>\n


<\/span><\/div>\n
1 – Stay on your food plan. Have limited, moderate amounts, a serving or two at a time, eating in balance from all six USDA Food Pyramid food groups. <\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
2 – Skip the appetizers, and have a main dish with two side vegetables. Limit the bread to two servings or less. <\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
3 – For dessert, try some delicious fresh fruits, instead of cakes, cookies, ice cream or pies (anything with added sugar or fat). <\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
4 – Try to find out what’s fresh on the menu, not canned or frozen. Anything that’s fresh is already going to taste better<\/a> and be better for you. <\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
5 – Have only one helping, skip the seconds. Go for a walk if you feel tempted to overindulge, and ask God for help while you’re at it. <\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
6- When your food arrives, if it’s a big portion immediately divide it in half and ask the server to put half in a take-home bag. Great leftovers for tomorrow, and MUCH less risk of overeating.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
