Strategies for Weight Loss: Strategies for Dining Out
Thursday, February 19, 2009
There are multiple strategies for dining out. Here are a few for your consideration:
The issues around dining out are based on behavior and environmental problems. After you have decided to go out for a meal, stop. Take a minute or two and actually think about where you truly need to go versus where have been programmed to go. What this means is most of us have dining habits for lunch we end up going out to fast food that is unhealthy, fattening and ultimately depressing. Think about the myriad of dining choices out there. From Mexican to salad bars, from Chinese to freshly made deli sandwiches.
The first step in dining is to pick a wiser choice of food groups. The second step if possible is to go with a friend or loved one. The idea being just order only one meal and split it with your dining guest. By doing this you will save money, eat less and eat healthier.
The third step in dining out is before you stop and eat the meal take a second or 2 to think about what would taste better than what you are about to eat. The goal of this is to take the internal charge and desperation off of the food that you are eating. Remember, when working with strategies the idea is to be exposed to many of them and for you to choose the 3 or 4 that are best suited to you and your lifestyle. The strategies will work for all the people all of the time, however not all of the people need all of the strategies. It is up to you to choose which feel and are the most useful for you.
Another strategy is to stop when the full button hits. When halfway or ¾ of the way through the meal there will be a point when you are not hungry; when the food need has been satisfied. At this point stop eating. Put everything in doggie bags and take it home or to work so in a few hours if you start feeling hungry again the rest of your meal is available to you. Remember, it is much better to have many small meals instead of one huge meal of the same size.
