5. Have your cake, but skip the bread
Eating out at restaurants can easily throw off your weight loss goals. Thankfully, there are easy tips we can follow to eat well and still enjoy ourselves. “First, we are horrendous bread eaters, so don’t let the waiter bring the bread basket,” advises Wansink. “The second thing is, order something that you really want. Eat all the meat and veggies, and don’t have the carbs if you don’t want them. But don’t skimp on an entree by trying to get something you think is healthy because it’s just going to backfire in the long run. Finally, remember this rule of thumb when eating out at a restaurant: limit yourself to the entree and just two other things—it can be two drinks, a dessert and a roll, or it could be 2 rolls—it just can’t be all of the above.”
