5 Tricks To Dine Out Much Healthier At Dining Establishments

Dining out is a big part of many people's lives. Maybe you have to eat out frequently because you entertain clients at restaurants. Maybe you don't even like eating out. Regardless, if you wish to keep a nice fit body, restaurant meals will give you a huge obstacle to get over. In fact, eating out at restaurants is one of the biggest reasons why so many individuals fatten up while traveling.

Listed below, are a few very simple tricks you can use to eat healthier and stay healthy even while dining out at restaurants...

The 3 most important things to avoid for healthier dining that are everywhere at restaurants are:

* deep fried food items (anything battered that got a scorching bath of trans fats)

* highly processed starchy foods

* any sugary sodas, juices, or other sugary foods (except whole fruits, which are great)

If you could skip these major culprits, this eliminates the major food sources which do the worst damage in our food supply - trans fats, refined vegetable oils, highly processed starchy carbohydrates, and processed sugars.

This means you should try to skip the table bread, skip the french fries that come with almost every sandwich on every menu available, and reduce all of the heaping servings of pasta and rice that are often loaded on the plates as well.

Instead, try to order just meat with side vegetables, along with a salad, asking for the vegetables or greens as a substitute for the typical french fries, pasta, or rice, that most restaurant foods usually come with.

Almost every restaurant will always allow you to substitute vegetables or perhaps a side salad for the french fries or chips that usually come with burgers or sandwiches.

Take a look at the typical difference this simple substitution makes between choosing sensible and doing what most people do...

Many people will eat out such as this:

* Hamburger or sandwich

* chips or fries

* soda or other syrupy drink (and no, diet sodas are not healthy!)

A MUCH smarter alternative if you care about your body is this simple change:

* Burger or Sandwich

* Greens or veggies

* unsweetened iced tea or water (no diet drinks -- unless you want to drink poison!)

These 2 simple substitutions save at least 400 - 900 calories every time you dine out (depending on drink refills and french fries portion sizes)... And you are therefore cutting out the most harmful foods to your body as well by avoiding the evil trans fats and high fructose corn syrup from the french fries and soft drinks resulting in more healthy dining.

Another side note: a little-known approach to eat full portions of pasta, rice, and breads and actually escape with it without packing on the body fat is to make sure to schedule a high intensity full body weight training workout (can be free weights or body weight training) before your scheduled meal time.

Sometimes it might be hard to fit the workout into your routine right before the meal, but if you can, the meal could be your "post-workout meal". After a high intensity resistance training workout, your body can handle a higher amount of carbs than normal to help replenish the muscle glycogen depletion you had during the intense workout.

A typical moderate intensity cardiovascular workout will not cut it for this... it has to be high intensity resistance training workout to deplete enough muscle glycogen to handle restaurant portions of carbohydrates.

Hopefully, these dining tips help you choose smarter and healthier for a slimmer body next time you dine out.
