Tips to eat ONLY healthy food at restaurants

Eating frequently at restaurants? Beware, it can become one of the main reason to get that extra fat on your body. But, then you say that its not that you like restaurants but it because you travel much, or you have clients with whom you have to eat out etc etc.

Okay! I will give you some tips that you can use while eating out at restaurants and still eat healthy food.

First of all understand the most common food available at the restaurants which always increase your fat, means the food you must avoid:
  • Soda item: Food items with soda should be avoided. Examples of such items are juices, drinks, sugar drinks.
  • Food that is deep fried
  • Starchy food that is refined.


These items do the major chunk of damage. If you can learn to avoid them you can feel that you have achieved a major success. So try getting away from trans fats, refined vegetable oils, refined starchy carbohydrates, and processed sugar items. This could mean that you should try to skip table bread, the french fries, the heaping portions of pasta and rice.

Oh! my god, you will say then what is left? Well, coming to that try to eat just meat with side vegetables, lot of salads and making the salad a substitute for your french fries, pasta or rice. No restaurant will say no for that.

All restaurants will have this kind of facility to substitute the one type food for another so try salads more.

People with you may look at you when you substitute but its you who have to understand whats good and what bad, you can always tell them that it what you like for a change. Ha ha.

If you scrutinize, you will find that these are the people who will complain first about getting overweight and having tried everything to reduce, but in vein.

Substitution may bring a simple difference but that's where lies the key. Take a look...

Most people will eat a meal out something like this:

  • Burger or sandwich
  • fries or chips
  • soda or other sweetened drink (and yes even diet sodas are NOT healthy!)

A simple substitution could be:
  • Burger or Sandwich
  • Salad or veggies
  • unsweetened iced tea or water (say no to diet drinks as well. They are like poison!)

These simple substitution can help you save at least 400 to 900 every time you go to restaurant. Of course the portion size does matter. The other benefit you can see on your cost of dining as well.

On a side note: a good high intensity daily work-out before your meal can help you though to get away from the bad effect of eating the full portions of pasta, rice and breads

An exercise schedule may not fit in your day to day schedule, but if you try nothing is impossible and you can make your meal itself as post - workout meal. After a high intensity workout, you body become ready to handle higher amounts of carb.

A moderate exercise may not get you the results you want.

So, next time you eat out remember these and keep maintaining that lean body. Enjoy your life.
