Ordering up a healthy diet

Blame it on hectic schedules or festival time or just simply a night out with your buddies at a favorite restaurant, eating out has become a very convenient option these days. However eating out does not necessarily mean you can blow your dietary do’s and don’ts away! Here are some tips for staying healthy while dinning out.

Stay away from buffet spreads: Buffets and fast food joints are a complete no-no. Choose a restaurant that has a variety of healthy foods on their menu for you to select from.

Choose steamed food over fried food: Dishes described as fried, creamy or extra crispy should be avoided. Instead select dishes that read as steamed, grilled, fresh or roasted.

Go ahead and ask: Most restaurants these days prepare items low on fat and oil so
don’t be shy or embarrassed to ask the waiter if they offer low fat items or if regular dishes can be cooked in less oil for you.

Move it out of sight: Nibbling is one of the most harmful habits which eventually leads to overeating. When you are done ask the waiter to remove your plate.

Share a dessert: If you have a sweet tooth, then split your dessert with your friend or partner. The best desserts of course are fresh fruits.

Regulate your eating during the day: Regulate your eating before going out. Don’t skip a meal thinking you can make up for it if you are dinning or lunching out, you will end up eating more than your normal portion.

Restrict your alcohol consumption level: Alcohol is high on calories. So plan your alcohol consumption in advance and stick to it. Cream with coffee and liqueurs should be avoided.

While sticking to your usual dietary regulations can be quite a daunting task especially when you are eating out following these simple rules can ensure you not only stick to your diet but also don’t miss out on anything.
