Before you place your dinner order, reflect on the side dishes which come along with your main course. White rice, steak fries, and mashed potatoes offer the lowest nutritional value for your calories. Instead, look for options of cole slaw, sliced tomatoes, steamed vegetables, and brown rice featured and request those.
If you’re doing KETO or Atkins, then do aim for meat and two servings of veggies. Avoid the bread that restaurants often serve and put on the table and no starchy sides. Nix on the potato, rice, peas or corn for the sides. Feel free to slather some butter on your side of broccoli and enjoy the blue cheese dressing on your dinner salad. Sometimes there are bowls of fresh fruit berries for dessert. Yum!
Lastly, when you meal does arrive, take a real look at it. Consider simply cutting your main dish in half and pushing it aside for the time being. Keep sipping your water throughout the meal. In all likelihood, with the great flirtations and conversation exchange you’ll have with your new date, you’ll find you are full before you even know it. At the end of the meal, just request a to-go container for the remainder of your meal. Take to the office for lunch.
