We love eating out, but sometimes we feel like we’re going to put on weight. Here are some basic tips to feel good after a meal.
The key to mindful eating:
1. Choose healthy foods: When browsing the menu, choose from grilled dishes, salads with lean meat or vegetables. Don’t consume foods that are fried or contain heavy sauces. Eating lighter foods will make you feel fuller and more satisfied.
2. Eat in small portions: Restaurants tend to serve large portions, which can lead to overeating. It is possible to have a meal with others or request fewer portions. It’s possible to request a box before your meal and reserve some for later.
3. Drink water: It can make us feel thirsty when we are hungry. To avoid overeating, drink water while eating to help you feel full. Digestion can be facilitated by drinking water.
4. Mindful Eating: Eat slowly, and enjoy every bite. Don’t eat until you are full, not too full. During breaks, enjoy some quality time with your friends.
5. Stay Active: Make an effort to stay active after eating out. Engage in walking, hitting the gym, or engaging in a hobby that gets you moving. Activating your body helps burn off excess calories from your diet.
These are just a few tricks to ensure you don’t put on weight while dining out. Listen to your body and make healthy choices.
