5 Ways for Eating Healthy While Eating Out Joseph Minetto
Talking about weight loss is easy but following the tips in real life can be very difficult, especially when you are eating out. I remember when I was on my weight-loss program, I had stopped eating out all together. I avoided meeting people as that meant going to cafes or lunch and eating all the junk food. Now this may be possible for a few months but is impossible to follow this throughout the life. Here is our eating out guide – Ways for Eating Healthy While Eating Out which can ensure that you don’t falter from your plan.

Coffee Shops When you are meeting someone for coffee then avoid the sugar laden smoothies and shakes that just add to the inches. Instead you can choose a small serving of cappuccino with ½ tsp of brown sugar. If you are craving for something icy cold then ice tea, fresh lime water, or frappe made from skimmed milk and without ice cream is a better option. Avoid sodas. Contoso S u i t e s

• Now this cuisine includes a lot of vegetables so may consider it to be healthy but that’s far from the truth. The Chinese food that we eat in India is fried and is laden with sauces that actually add to water retention and bloating. So all you need to do is be smart in your
choices. Replace the creamy sweet corn soup with clear soups or hot and sour soups, have steamed or stir fried entrees over the fried ones Fried rice or
noodles should be replaced with steamed rice

Italian
• When we think Italian, the first thing that pops into our mind is pasta. You can enjoy pastas without worrying about the weight but only if you have it the correct way. Choose wheat pasta prepared in tomato gravy and avoid white sauce. Add a lot of vegetables to so that you get
fiber and nutrients from it. If you are pizza lover, then choose thin crust wheat base with veggies and avoid the cheese.

Sizzler Whenever I go out I prefer to have sizzlers. I simply love it and it is comparatively healthy also. You can choose sizzlers with lot of vegetables, grilled paneer/soya/chicken and have it with rice. Avoid fried potatoes and vegetables. You can ask the restaurant to grill the veggies and meat instead of frying it and use less oil. Most of the restaurant can customize the dishes to suit your tastebud.

South Indian Cuisine South Indian is considered to be complete meal but when you are on weight loss regime then you need to be careful about what you choose. Idli is one of the healthiest option but only if you have it without the coconut chutney. Some of the combinations that you can order in south Indian are- 2 idli with sambar and tomato chutney, 1 uttapam with sambar, or 1 plain dosa with sambar and tomato chutney. Avoid the vadas as they are fried and high in calories.
