APPETIZERS
Appetizers are a great way to start out a leisurely meal, but can also quickly derail your good intentions. SKIP THE APPS!

But it you MUST:

Don’t Order:

• Anything fried. Fried foods are a favorite but will do damage that even the most intense workout won’t undo.
• Creamy dips. These are filled with fat and usually come with something fried to dip in it.
• Bread. It comes smothered in cheese or seeped in butter, and even when it’s plain it fills you up with more carbohydrates than your body needs.

Do Order:

• Green salad. Ask for olive oil & lemon for your dressing and no croutons.
• Lettuce wraps. These are delicious, protein-filled and low in carbs, if you skip the heavy sauces and cheese.
  

BEVERAGES
Calories in drinks are sneaky because they don’t fill you up.  This means that you end up taking in far more calories than you bargained for.

Don’t Order

• Regular or diet soda. On one hand you’re drinking corn syrup through a straw, on the other you’re drinking chemicals that cause you to crave sweets. It’s a no-win situation.
• Sweet cocktails. Many restaurants are advertising sweet cocktails –resist the urge. Sugar plus alcohol equals loads of unneeded calories.
• Sweetened tea. You may feel righteous for ordering iced tea, but if it’s sweetened then you may as well be drinking fully loaded soda.

Do Order

• Water. Don’t laugh! Water is the best beverage of all.  Water all day!
• Unsweetened iced tea. Don’t ruin it by adding that packet of sugar. Learn to enjoy the natural sweetness to the tea.
  

ENTREES
This is where the real damage is done. When you order something carb-loaded you leave the restaurant feeling heavy and lethargic—you may not even realize this until you start eating better and experience the light, energetic way you’ll feel after eating a healthy meal.

Don’t Order

• Pasta. I don’t care if it comes with red sauce or white sauce, meat or veggies. If you’re trying to lose weight and maintain a lean body then don’t order a plate of pasta.
• Pizza. Another dish that has far more carbohydrates than you need. If you’re craving the pizza toppings then simply order those over a salad.
• Burgers. If you really want a burger then ditch the bun and the fries, and have your patty wrapped in lettuce.

Do Order:

• Lean meat with vegetables. Fish, steak, chicken, take your pick and pair it with green vegetables.
• Salad with protein. Ask for very light dressing and make sure you have a nice piece of protein on it.
• Soup and salad. Stick with broth-based soups that contain protein and pass on the breadsticks.
  

LET’S STAY FOCUSED…TOGETHER!
