Eat Out and Still Lose Weight

You Don't Have to Avoid Restaurants to Lose Weight

If you eat at restaurants, either for pleasure or business, it's easy to eat over 1500 or 2000 calories per meal. That's a full day's worth of calories in one sitting!

You can clock up 200 calories from pre-dinner bread & butter and 150 calories from a pre-dinner cocktail - and that's before you start!

Then there is:

Appetizer 500-1500 calorie bomb on it's own
Steak 300-500 calories
Potato 150-300 calories
Vegetable 100 calories
Dinner Drink 150 calories
Dessert - 300-750 calories
After Dinner Drink 150 calories

And that's only if you CONTROL yourself! If you go on a rampage, you could be looking at 2500 or even 3000 calories in one sitting.

Those numbers are scary. Fortunately, there are ways to avoid this dietary nightmare while dining out. Here are 5 rules to cut 1000 calories from your dining-out diet.

1) Plan ahead and avoid restaurants that offer huge portions.
2) Skip the bread.
3) No booze or liquid calories of any type.
4) No potatoes or rice.
5) Stick to protein and vegetables or salad.
6) Have fruit for dessert.

It's all about taking responsibility for your choices. You can still enjoy your meal and the social aspects of eating out without the pain of regret afterwards through feeling full, bloated and knowing you have just consumed a whole days calories in on sitting.

The choice is yours, but if you are serious about losing weight, it's a small price to pay.
