FIT TIPS
EATING OUT
If you're like most people, you're eating out more than ever. With a little effort, however,
you can have almost as much control over what you eat when you dine out as you do at
home. The following tips give you the tools you need to win at the restaurant game.

1. Get a Little Something on the Side. Salad dressing is not the only topping that can be
served on the side. You can make the same request with sour cream, sauces and most
seasoning.

2. Ask Until You're Satisfied. Perhaps the most effective method of getting what you
want in a restaurant is to ask questions. Whether the question is about ingredients,
preparation methods, price, portion size or substitutions, don't settle for a half-baked answer.

3. Know When to Go. If you have special instructions for the kitchen, you may want to eat
out during non-peak hours. During peak hours, most good restaurants get very busy, and
your special order may take a little longer. Try going before the dinner rush.

4. Try to be a Kid Again. Many restaurants have a special children's section on the menu
that you may be able to order from. If not, ask if you may have a half order of something.

5. Don't be a Softie. When the dessert cart comes around, don't feel bad about saying, "No,
thanks," even if a waiter pressures you.

6. Stop Eating When You Are Full. Ask someone—your waiter, busboy, manager or
another waiter—to take your plate away when you have had enough. If you can see as soon
as you get your plate that the portion is too large, immediately divide the food in half. Put
one part in a to-go box or just place it to the side.
