This means avoiding the fried foods and the assorted burger, rib, chili, sausage options which all add fat to the diet. Most fast food restaurants offer a collection of salads with the dressings on the side. Also, we can usually find a fish filet or chicken breast choice (choose grilled or baked, not breaded and fried). Since our bodies turn sugars into fats, select diet sodas or water to round out the meal. Some fast food places are offering fresh fruit as a healthy sweetmeat choice but we can probably get that for much less elsewhere.

Degreasing Dressings: Dressings and sauces are a favorite way for chefs to add flavors to foods and a favorite way for us to enjoy those flavors. Unfortunately, whether it's a uncomplicated Italian dressing or a creamy Alfredo sauce, these great flavor enhancers enhance the fats even more. How do we enjoy the flavor of eating out and cut these fats? All we need to do is order all of our dressings and cheesy/creamy sauces on the side. Restaurants are used to these kinds of requests and will have no problem serving you. Instead of pouring the dressings on, we just dip each bite in them. This ensures we can enjoy the flavor but not be forced to eat a lot of fat just because it's already in the dish. Like Mom used to say, "It's easier to put it in the food than it is to take it out."

Pruning Piggy Portions: Many families, mine included, praised their children for being able to eat a lot of food and expressed concern when they didn't. When I was a young adult, I bragged about how much I could put down. Now that I'm older, fatter, and suffering from diabetes, I'm pretty determined overeating is nothing to brag about. One of the easiest ways to cut the fat while eating out is to divide the main dish and the carb into portions before we start eating. We just determine to eat one quantum at the bistro and take the rest home. That's why they have "people" bags! We can cut the fat even more by choosing the right main dish.

Fowl Fish Fight Fat: Most good restaurants have the menu marked for "heart-healthy" or low fat meals, but, even if they don't, you can make low fat choices. If it flies or swims, chances are pretty good it's lower in fat than the other choices. Just like with the fast foods, avoid breaded or fried foods. So, we can select baked or grilled seafood and poultry dishes to lower the fat in our diets. Skinless white meats are the bottom fat choices in poultry.

Miscellaneous Munching Morsels: These tips are tossed in on the side to help you in your low fat dining experience. Sour dough bread is the bottom in fat. always order breads with no butter or margarine (you can add it at the table). Usually, the clearer the salad dressing the lower in fat. Oil and vinegar-very low...ranch-very high in fat. White rice or baked potato (all flavorings on the side) are the bottom fat choices in carb dishes. If the menu doesn't say, always ask how the main dish is ready and use the above tips as your guide. Tea, Black coffee, diet cola or water are the non-fat beverage choices. It's probably best just to skip the bistro desserts unless you make a extra trip just for sweetmeat once or twice a year. Hey! A minute bit won't send you to the hospital. Eating is more than food or we wouldn't have so many taste buds.

Now, we can enjoy eating eat out without the guilt and fear of animated too much fat. By following These few, common-sense tips, we can satisfy the social and business demands that we eat out and still stay on a low fat diet.
