We all know that fast food for the most part is REALLY bad news, so if you're going to go "out to eat", whatever you do, don't eat fast food. Instead, try a nice sit-down restaurant in which an independent study recently determined that when compared to the golden arches and king of burgers, those who choose sit-down restaurants wind up eating TWICE as many calories than those that choose fast food.
What?
Eye-opener: What appears to be healthy at a restaurant, very likely aint healthy.
The reality is that sit down restaurant meals, due to their exceptionally large portions and often irresponsible preparation methods give very little regard to health and weight management. Restaurants want you to LOVE the food, be satisfied, and come back. For the most part, with few exceptions, that's their number one goal...and it comes at the expense of your health and that oh so lovely figure you're trying to obtain and maintain.
Does that mean you should never eat out? No,but you have to be aware of what goes down back in that kitchen, and YOU have to be the one in control of the meal.
1. When you order, ask the server to have half of your entree bagged up to go and half brought out to you. Instant 50% reduction in calories!
Chances are, you'll be just as satisfied with 1/2 the normal portion, but when the whole thing is on your plate in front of you, you'll always eat more just because it's there.
Implement those 2 tips and you'll avoid 75% of the calories in a typical restaurant entree.
