About Me

An End of Summer Celebration

Growing up, I adored the long, lazy days of summer. During my summer break from school, I could usually be found reading a book, sipping lemonade, playing catch, or hula-hooping. A couple of weeks before my summer break was due to end, I started dreading the thought of returning to school. Do you have kids who are sad about the prospect of going back to school? Consider taking your children’s minds off of school by treating the whole family at a favorite restaurant. While everyone is eating favorite foods, family members can reminisce about the amazing summers they’ve had. On this blog, you will discover the best types of restaurants to host an end of summer celebration at.

Love To Eat Out But Starting A Diet? You Can Dine At Your Favorite Restaurant And Get Away With It

If you love to dine out at all your favorite American food restaurants, but you're trying to cut calories and watch your weight, you can use a few tips to stay on your diet and still enjoy when you're out to eat. By knowing what to eat and how much of it is key, means that you don't always have to skip dessert.

If controlling your appetite and how much order when you're at a restaurant is a problem, don't give yourself the chance to overeat. Here are a few easy suggestions that can keep you at your favorite American restaurants.

Only Ask for Half

An easy way to consume too many calories of your favorite dish is to eat everything that they bring out on your plate, since many portions in restaurants are too large. Instead of cleaning your plate, ask the server if they can put half of your meal in a to go box before it even hits your table. This way you only eat half the calories you would have eaten, you don't have to miss out on the meal that you wanted, and you can enjoy the rest of the meal the next day or another time.

Remove the Bread

If you want to order an American food classic like a large cheeseburger, or anything that has a lot of bread, just ask that the item be wrapped in lettuce instead. You still get all of the cheese, meat, bacon and other toppings that make the burger or sandwich taste delicious, but you aren't consuming the unhealthy starches that are buttered and saturated in grease.

Eat a Salad or Appetizer

 Eating a salad before or an appetizer may seem like it would add calories to the meal, but curbing your appetite and filing your stomach with lettuce, vegetables, or a healthy appetizer like shrimp can help prevent you from over eating during meal time, and it will be packed with nutrients.

These are three easy ways that you can stop yourself from over indulging and overeating when you are out at your favorite restaurant, eating all of your favorite foods. Don't be scared to go out and enjoy a meal because you are on a diet and you want to lose weight. Instead, make sure that you use your calories on the foods that you can't resist and that you don't waste your calories on unnecessary side items.
