Most people find it impossible to stick to a fat loss diet when on the road. One of the major contributors to weight is the food served at restaurants.
Following are some tips that you can use to improve your diet and stay thin, any time, even when you are traveling or out on business.
When you dine out you need to avoid 3 things: deep fried foods, refined starchy food and sugary foods (with the exeption of fresh, whole fruit.) This eliminates problem foods that hinder our weight loss goals, such as trans fats and refined vegetable oils.
This means you will have to live without table bread and french fries, and cut back on rice and pasta that are given to us in huge portions when dining out.
When you order your meal order a salad, vegetables and meat without any bread; Restaurants want to make you happy so they will gladly give you what you order. Very few restaurants would deny a request to substitute veggies or a side salad for the fries or chips.
I'm continually surprised by people who think I'm missing out when I order a vegetable side in place of french fries. They are also always the first to gripe that they are to heavy and have tried every diet out there and still can't get in shape.
Notice the difference this easy substitution makes between following what others do and making smart choices.
People often eat burgers or other sandwiches, french fries or chips and sodas or other sugary drinks when they eat out.
A better choice would be to have a salad or vegetables with that sandwich and unsweetened tea or water to drink.
These easy alternatives will cut a minimum of 400-900 calories out of your meal when you eat out. The exact number of calories saved will depend on the size of your french fry order and how many drink refills you normally consume. These substitutions help you adhere to your fat loss diet, and help to eliminate the most harmful foods from your diet by helping you to avoid trans-fats and high fructose corn syrup.
Hopefully, these tips will help you make better choices the next time you dine out. The ball is in your court! If you concentrate on your goal, you will be able to effectively lose weight and follow your fat loss diet.
