How To Dine Out While Trying To Shed a Few Pounds

It's not as difficult as you would think!  Here are a few dining tips:
Instead of alcoholic beverages, order a club soda with a slice of lemon and lime.  It's refreshing, fills you up, and no one will know if there's a shot of vodka in your drink.  If you do want that glass of wine with dinner, start off with a glass of club soda or seltzer when you are seated and drink a glass of water.  Alternate between a sip of wine and a sip of seltzer during dinner.  Chances are you will be unable to finish the glass of wine...that's about 600 fewer calories imbibed at the table.  Order a green salad for an appetizer and ask for fresh lemon and olive oil on the side (or balsamic vinegar).  Add your own dressing on the salad and enjoy the texture of the greens.  Ask that your protein source be baked or broiled with no added salt or toppings - same with veggies...order them steamed or grilled.  You'll avoid any unnecessary sodium which will bloat you and the insidious fats that are added in most restaurants for flavor.  At the end of the day, you'll be proud of yourself!  You will have stayed on track, enjoyed your evening, had a great meal and those goals you've set will be closer to attainment.
