Eating out sometimes can't be avoided .. sometimes it's just for entertainment! No matter what kind of restaurant you like, chances are that its menu is loaded with diet-busting options...but there are always options! If possible go to the restaurants nutrional information and figure your weight watchers points or pointsplus ahead of time. When you arrive DON'T even open the menu, changes are your starving and everything looks good. In a perfect world that sinario would be ideal...but we don't live in a perfect world!! Remember these simple tips...fat is flavor and restaurants want you back, even veggies are glossy due to fat. The key is grilled, broiled, steamed, stay away from breaded and deep fried. When it comes to sauces, salad dressing and soups stay away from creamy. Look for soups you can see the bottom. Italian stick with marinara sauce. Most of all a salad can make the transformation from healthy to unhealthy quicker than you can say crouton.

This is a great reminder to stay on track even when out with friends and family! I don't eat out often but when I do I am usually shocked by portion sizes! Even though many restaurants are responding to the requests of us foodies to incorporate healthy menu choices - it's good to have places like your website to encourage us to stay on track! Thanks guys!
