Eating out made easy

Menu

Every day we are faced with food temptations that make it hard to stick to weight-loss goals - especially when eating out is involved! Here are some practical tips and strategies for making the right food choices when you’re not the one in the kitchen.

Avoid buffets, set menus and banquets. They may seem to be good value but they encourage over-eating.

Have something light to eat before you go out. If you are ravenous when you arrive, you are more likely to over-order and over-eat.

Avoid dishes based on pastry or high-fat/creamy sauces.

Eat slowly and put your utensils down between mouthfuls.

Have two entreés rather than an entrée and main course. This spreads your dining experience over two courses, so you can still enjoy socialising with your dining companions.

Don’t be afraid to ask about the food, what’s in it and how it’s prepared. Specify exactly what you want. Most chefs are very happy to oblige.

Sip plenty of water and buy alcohol by the glass, not the bottle.

When it comes time to order, choosing the lighter option will result in a guilt free dining experience, which means you can really enjoy the food you’re eating!
