Eating Healthy at Your Favorite Restaurants

After marrying my wonderful spouse 12 years ago, I gained nearly 10 pounds. Because I could no longer wear half of the clothes in my closet, I decided to change my eating habits. Losing weight seemed like a better idea than buying new clothes. Because my husband and I ate at our favorite restaurants a few times each week, I searched for ways to limit caloric intake while dining out. I began declining the bread basket offered by my servers. When ordering foods like shrimp, flounder, or chicken, I asked my server if I could have them grilled, broiled, or boiled. Most of the time, the restaurant staff was very understanding of my desire to have my food prepared differently than the menu options. On this blog, I hope you will discover ingenious tips to help you eat healthy at your favorite restaurants.

Reducing Food Waste At Your Family-Style Restaurant
At a dine-in family-style restaurant, you typically serve a large plate or bowl of food to the table, and the individual diners serve themselves from that dish. This setup makes for a more community-positive, family-oriented dining experience, and families with multiple children tend to enjoy it since it means they don't need to order separate kids' meals.
