EATING OUT – HOW & WHERE TO HAVE A HEALTHY DIET?

There was a time when eating out at a Restaurant, Healthy Diet was something that hardly counted and considered significant. It was a trivial issue at best that did not matter at all. But all of it has changed in today’s time of growing health-consciousness and growing importance of staying fit with healthy-diet as one of the core-factors.

With proper adherence to the rules of Healthy-Diet and smart thinking, it is possible for one to convert a Restaurant meal from an unviable option to a viable and healthy option that was meant to be enjoyed and relished to the hilt. Eating healthy at a Restaurant is all about common sense and putting them into practice.

TIPS ON HOW TO EAT OUT & STAY HEALTHY

Here are some tips that make it possible for one to eat out, enjoy and stay healthy and fit, without giving rise to health-complications

• CHOOSE THE RIGHT RESTAURANT: The first step to eating out is to check the reputation and credibility of the Restaurant. That can be found out from reading reviews about the Restaurant in online and offline media, taking feedback from those who have patronized the Restaurant, and the overall reputation and standing of the Restaurant since its opening. If they are positive, then they make for a good choice else its best to ignore them.
• HAVE A SNACK BEFORE GOING TO THE RESTAURANT: Once the choice has been made-up, have something at home an hour before heading out to the Restaurant, like say, a hard-boiled egg and vegetables or dried fruit and nut mix. This way, your stomach stays a bit full and will make sure that you’re not tempted to order all sorts of things off the menu right-away when at the Restaurant.
• CHECK THE MENU BEFORE ORDERING: Checking out the Restaurant Menu online (on the Smartphone) OR in person at the Restaurant itself, is a wise move. Generally the menu should provide for nutritional information about each item offered. If that is not there, then its best to ignore the Restaurant and step out of it. If it’s provided for, then it will make it easy to pre-select a healthy option and ensure a good positive eating experience.
• FIND OUT HOW THE FOOD IS PREPARED: There are certain methods that are healthy and recommended while there are others that are not so and could be fatal and unhygienic. Check or find out how at the Restaurant the meals are baked, broiled, grilled, smoked or steamed; in short how they are cooked. In case they use a method that makes the meal crispy, deep-fried, battered or coated, then it means danger. So it’s best to avoid such a Restaurant and opt for another one where the right cooking method is adopted.
• OPT FOR THE RIGHT CUISINE: By right cuisine, it’s meant, lean and just sufficient. Usually all Restaurants offer a wide variety of cuisine choices and you need to make sure to choose the one that fit your diet. To sum it up, go for a cuisine that is high on protein and low-fat but low in calories. It is also advisable to go for extra veggies, tasty and full of fibres.
• AVOID OPTING FOR ALL THE COURSES: Its human nature to be tempted by more than one choice and opt for all of them. That should be ignored for they will lead to what is called ‘Over-eating’. Try to stick with one choice, the main course and a healthy choice at that too.
• AVOID FRIED FOODS: Fried Foods can be tempting, but not a good choice. So avoid them and even where you are compelled to have them, make sure to stick to a few guidelines, for instance take meat - choose lean meat that is grilled, steamed or barbequed. But even there, it would be risky for they could contain unnecessary oils and unhealthy fats. So in such a case, it would be better to find out from the Restaurant on those before taking a bite of the meat.

• AVOID GUZZLING WHILE EATING: When in a Restaurant particularly those with bars, there always seem to be a wide choice of drink options. You need to eschew caution and opt for, if possible, for a drink that is healthy. Skip drinks that are sugary and also skip drinks like Soda and Fruit juices for they don’t fit your diet and agree with your stomach. Drink instead, pure and clean water throughout the meal instead, for they send across a message that you feel full and need to slow down eating. It’s important to keep the liquid intake controlled so that there is no issue with food digestion later-on. Health experts advise that sipping rather than guzzling liquids would seem a wise choice in such a scenario.  

• BE INQUISITIVE: Finally, make sure to ask questions like wherefrom the food ingredients are sourced from, how they are cooked and how they are taken out and maintained later. This is just to be on the safe side and stay healthy.

 

Eating out can be fun and a relief from the rather mundane daily chore of eating out at home. It gives you room to wriggle out and be free for a change to enjoy the foods that you have never eaten and yet are healthy and agree with your diet.

On the whole, indulging from time to time can be a refreshing break, great for your mind and body and also a time for enjoying with family and friends at a different setting and different place. Just make sure to make the right choice off the menu and don’t stress.
