Is it possible to eat healthy at a fast food restaurant?
The best advice is to check out the nutritional information on-line to see what your best options are if you have to resort to fast food. Pay particular attention to the salt and fat content as well as the ingredients. • When You Arrive Request a glass of water upon being seated. Sip water instead of nibbling on bread or having a cocktail. Keep your glass full throughout the meal. Don’t drink your calories: Our body doesn’t feel full on liquid calories. If you are going to consume calories, choose solid food that will fill you up! • When You Order Be the first to order. Ordering first, whether for the main course or dessert, will prevent you from being swayed by others. If you know exactly what you want, then just skip the menu. Avoid appetizers. Don’t be shy: Let your requests be known – most restaurants are glad to cater to your needs. You can ask for a certain preparation method, extras on the side or skip sides and extras altogether to resist temptation. Order the right portion siz
