Lose Weight While Eating Out

You can learn how to eat out at restaurants and still lose weight. In todays society, you will find it almost impossible to avoid eating out in restaurants, so some basic information on how to eat in restaurants and still lose weight is what you will need.
I know that in my weight loss battles, just the thought of eating in a restaurant would frighten me. Self control is not one of my greatest virtues. If I had great self control, I wouldn't be constantly waging the war against weight gain.

You should avoid richly fried foods, they are not good for your health, and this has nothing to do with dieting. Avoid these foods at all times, but especially in a restaurant. You have no control over what types of oils thay are using. Raw vegetables and fruits are the best foods to help you loose weight quickly, and they are readily available in restaurants, especially if they have a salad bar.

Here are four tips that will help you lose weight while eating restaurant food:

1. Eat at vegetarian restaurants: To be safe, I advise you visit only restaurants that serve vegetarian meals. Non vegetarian restaurants are only allowed, once you understand how to eat out, and still lose weight. You have to know how to spot high-calorie foods and high-fat foods. Those are the ones that must be avoided at all cause until you get control of your eating habits. Controlling your habits is key to eating out and still being able to lose weight.

Most restaurants serve ordinary chicken meat, and you should only be eating lean chicken meat. Ordinary chicken meat is fatty and should be avoided. Most restaurants don’t offer the choice between the two, and that is why you should stick with vegetarian restaurants.

2. Avoid all types of salad dressings: Many give information on the types of different salad dressing: lite, non fat and low carbohydrate, and state that they don’t add to your weight loss problem. Not true. Avoid salad dressings as they are high in fat and calories. Ask for fresh lemon wedges and squeeze the juice over your salad and raw vegetables. As you already know, raw vegetable helps you burn fat by increasing your metabolic rate.

3. Buffet style is affordable: Buffet style is the most affordable meals served today, but they are very rich in calories, and the fried foods should be avoided at all cost. These meals are prepared in fatty oils, and will not help you lose weight. So, while going with the buffet meals, choose the salads, fruits and other healthy alternatives. You should try to avoid eating any type of meals prepared in oil or fat. Grilled meals are great, but only small portions. Practice these weight loss habits faithfully, and your restaurant experience can be a joy for you.

4. Avoid big meals: The amount of food you eat, is actually a measure for the amount of weight you will gain. You should limit the amount you eat. Smaller portion are better than huge amounts digested over one meal. Remember, we are trying to eat 4-5 meals a day. You can't eat everything you need at one meal. Don’t over eat. Save some for another day, that will help you to stop over-eating and help you lose weight. You can visit a restaurant once or twice per week, just monitor what you eat, and how much. But, stick to your diet plan, and don’t forget to exercise at least three times per week to maximize your ability to lose weight.

I have found that the easiest way for me to stay on goal and eat out is to carry my packets of Leanology. I can visit with my friends and enjoy myself and still have a shake. The shakes fill me and I know I have not destroyed my weight plan.
