Eating Out Tips

• Upon arrival at a restaurant, have an idea of what you want so that you're not tempted by the menu items full of calories and fat.
• Stop eating when you're satisfied, not stuffed!
• While eating out, immediately pack half your meal to take home. This will not only cut your calories and fat in half, but you will also have a delicious meal for the next day.
• When ordering seafood, choose the leanest types, such as haddock, sole, scrod, orange roughy, scallops, shrimp and crab.

Following these helpful nutritional tips will greatly benefit your goal of weight loss. Remember, too, that sodas, juices, and alcoholic beverages contain calories. Drinking water with lemon can improve your health as well as increase weight loss. Drinking at least two liters a day makes a huge difference, and it's really not as hard as it seems after you do it for a few days. Not only does it help shed pounds, but it improves your complexion, too! Nearly 75% of Americans are chronically dehydrated. In 37% of Americans, the thirst mechanism is so weak that it is often mistaken for hunger. So drink up!
