•if you know that you’re going to be forced to eat, restrict before eating out. either fast beforehand or eat low cal foods for your other meals. •look up nutrition facts for foods on the menu ahead of time. this way you’ll know exactly what to order and you’ll be less tempted to order fatty, high calorie foods. •if you know you’re going to be hungry at dinner, eat something low cal before you go (fruits or veggies) so you won’t be tempted to binge at the restaurant. •try to stick to salads, but be careful of the toppings that come on them! nuts and proteins are more calorie dense than you’d think. order the plainest salad on the menu because lettuce is low cal. •if you order a salad, order a lite or fat free dressing on the side. when you get your food, do not dump it all on your salad. instead, dip your fork into the dressing and then pierce the lettuce. you’ll still be able to taste the dressing but you won’t eat as much of it. •order a water and keep it directly in front of you at all times. when i’m bored, i drink the water, and it fills me up so i won’t eat as much food. •try to take a sip or two of your water between each bite of food. •be the last person to begin eating and the last person to finish. when you get your meal, take time to get situated (put your napkin over your lap, arrange your silverware, etc.). when you see those around you finish eating, put down your fork and stop. •as soon as you’re finished eating, stick a piece of sugar free gum in your mouth. the minty taste will turn you off from eating and it’ll give you something to do. •take home your leftover food, but offer it to others so you aren’t tempted to eat it.
