Restaurant Dining For Healthy Lifestyles

By Ryan L. Freeman

Dining out is a big part of our lives. Maybe you are eating out frequently because you entertain clients. Perhaps you don't like eating out. Either way, if you want to keep a nice trim body, restaurant meals will give you a huge obstacle to overcome. In fact, eating out is one of the biggest reasons why so many people fatten up while traveling.

Below, I'll give you a few very simple tricks you can use to eat healthier and stay lean even while dining out at restaurants...

In every restaurant you find these 3 things to avoid at all costs, and here they are:

*** refined starchy foods *** any sodas, juices and other sugary foods (except fresh fruits, which are great) *** deep fried foods (anything dropped in a scorching bath of trans fats)

Skip these major culprits and you can eliminate the major food sources that do the worst damage to your body - trans fats, refined vegetable oils, processed starchy carbohydrates, and processed sugars.

What you should try to do is to, skip the bread, skip the french fries that come with every single sandwich on every menu known to man, and reduce all of the heaping portions of pasta and rice that are often loaded on your plate as well.

Substitute a salad for the typical french fries, pasta, or rice, that most restaurant meals come with. And of course eat your meat and other vegetables as usual.

Nearly every restaurant I have been to will always allow me to substitute vegetables or a side salad for the french fries or chips that usually come with any burger or sandwich.

Just a quick side note, it amazes me how many people scrutinize my substitutions of veggies for fries by telling me that I am 'not living' because I refuse to eat deep fried french fries... are you kidding me! If french fries are your idea of 'living it up', you need to get a better hobby!

Ironically, the same scrutinizers are the very first to complain that they're fat, overweight and have tried 'everything' to lose their big guts. I'm not sure why people think eating deep fried foods equals 'living it up'... I'm for moderation with many things, but 2 things that should be totally removed from every diet because they are simply dangerous... is sodas and fries!

Take a look at the typical difference this simple substitution makes between choosing smart and doing what most other people do...

Most people will eat a meal out such as this:

* soda or other sweetened drink (and no, diet sodas are NOT healthy!) * Burger or sandwich or burger * chips or french fries

A MUCH more smart alternative (if you care about your body and health) is this simple change you can make:

* Salad or veggies * Burger or Sandwich * unsweetened iced tea or water (no diet drinks -- unless you like to drink poison!)

Make these 2 simple substitutions and save at least 400 - 900 calories every time you dine out... AND you are cutting out the most harmful foods to your body as well by avoiding the evil trans fats of deep frying foods and high fructose corn syrup from the fries and soda.

Another side note: a little-known way to eat full portions of rice, pasta, and breads and actually get away with it without packing on the body fat is to make sure to schedule a high intensity full body resistance training exercise (can be free weights or body weight training) before your scheduled meal time.

Sometimes it may be hard to fit the workout into your schedule right before the meal, but if you can, the meal can be your 'post-exercise meal'. After a high intensity resistance training workout, your body can handle a higher amount of carbohydrates than usual to help replenish the muscle glycogen depleted during the intense exercise you had.

A typical moderate intensity cardio workout will NOT cut it for this... it must be high intensity resistance training workout to deplete enough muscle glycogen to handle restaurant portions of carbs.

I hope these dining tips help you make smarter and healthier choices for a leaner body next time you eat out. - 17263

End unsightly stomach fat and learn the true secrets for losing belly fat and tightening your stomach with Ryan L. Freeman and his free report on a tighter tummy.

By Cathereine Night

Many people need to lose some weight, that's a fact. Walk around where people gather, you'll notice the fat. Look in the mirror, unfortunately you'll likely see it there too. If you've made fast weight loss your goal, keep these simple things in mind to take off the pounds quickly and safely.

When people want to lose weight one of the most common things they do is to skip meals. Hey, if eating fewer calories is the goal then why not skip breakfast or lunch. Fewer calories means losing weight, right? That's right but skipping meals isn't the right way to reduce calories. When you skip meals your body goes into starvation mode. It starts to retain fat to counteract what it perceives as being starved. When you skip meals you'll end up hungrier at the next meal. This could lead to binge eating. Skipping a meal plus binge eating, then, will likely result in eating more calories and the body gaining even more weight from those calories than normally. It's the worst of both worlds. Don't do it.

Know how much to eat. Portion control is just as important as eating the right food. Too much of even a healthy food will still result in weight gain. Portion control isn't easy when large portions are so common. Restaurants and even most people in home cooking serve portions far larger than needed.

The FDA and other sources list recommended daily allowances. And remember portion size when you eat at restaurants, especially fast food restaurants. You'll likely have to cut down on what a restaurant serves.

Replace white foods such as white bread, white rice and sugar with whole grain foods. Whole grains are lower in fat and higher in nutrients. The fiber in whole grains helps you become full faster, and feel fuller longer. Finally, whole grains add nutrients that many people lack in their diet.

Consume more water. Replace juice and soda with water since that juice and soda adds 90,000 calories to an average person's diet every year. Drink it between meals too. The goal is 8 glasses of water each day. It's easily possible. Drinking water also promotes health in general by keeping you well hydrated and cool.

Eat healthy snacks between meals. The body needs food every three to four hours to maintain proper blood sugar. Healthy snacks also help control eating at meal times.

With some knowledge and planning, fast weight loss is easily possible. It won't be long before you're slimmer and trimmer. - 17263
