Being on a diet does not mean you can’t have any fun or not eat at a restaurant. Here is a guide to keep your healthy lifestyle and diet in place even at your favourite restaurant when making your menu selection:
For starters:
Choose a vegetable based soup (not a creamy soup), or a steamed seafood cocktail (ask them to bring the dressing separately so you can keep control over the amount). A glass of fruit juice is also a great choice.
Bread and rolls:
If you are going for breakfast, ask for only one slice of wholegrain or rye bread. If you are at the restaurant for lunch or dinner and the bread basket comes standard, rather ask the waiter to remove the bread. It will just add extra calories and is not needed.
Alcohol:
Unfortunately, alcohol gives empty calories (i.e. it contains carbohydrates, but it also slows your bodies ability to digest). Additionally, alcohol may increase appetite and make you less aware of when you are full.
But you can still enjoy alcohol, just limit it to one glass of dry white or red wine, or a tot of whiskey or gin and mix with water or soda water.
Choose low fat:
As far as possible choose the option that has been steamed, baked or grilled. Boiled, wine sauce, stirfried and poached also present good options. Avoid fried food. Or if your food is friend, remove the fried crust and don’t eat it.
Salads:
Don’t be fooled that salads are always low in fat and a good diet option! Beware the hidden fats of bacon, cheese and mayonnaise salads. Rather ask for a fresh green salad with salad dressing on the side.
Main course:
Fish and chicken are lower in fat than red meats. Also try and select a protein portion size of no more than 170g (If you are selecting a steak, choose the smallest portion, i.e. 150g). Ask for any sauces that comes with your food to be served separately.
Dessert:
Your best option is a fresh fruit salad or a sorbet. Alternatively, a nice cup of decaf coffee is also delicious after a meal.
Tips for success:
-Have an apple and a glass of water before going to the restaurant to satisfy the most urgent cravings.
-Take 2 Herbalife Fibre & Herb tablets and 2 Herbalife Lipobond tablets before going to the restaurant. These tablets will help trap the fats that you might consume and also give you a sensation of being fuller, thereby preventing you of eating too much.
