STOMACH IS NOT A DUSTBIN!!!!!!!


EATING OUT?

Have light food
If you plan to eat out in the evening,then make sure your lunch is full of salads and vegetables.Have lots of water throughout the day.Just in case,eating out was not planned before hand,don’t worry!you can always order for a light dinner which may include salads,soups,diet drinks,etc.

Enjoy the company you are in.Let it be your spouse ,your kids,your family,or friends talk to them,remember old days,be more interactive and show your skills not by eating but being the attraction to all.

Avoid ordering menu items with thick gravies.This will definitely add on extra calories and if you are a foodie you might end up eating more portions.

Always remember to start your meals with volume,water,diet drinks,raw vegetables salads or clear soups.


Mind your P’s and S’s

P – planning
P – portion size
P – pace yourself
S – sugar
S – sodium

Planning your meal before hand is always helpful.If you know where you will be eating,you can plan the menu or keep in mind the low calorie choices.
Portion size does matter.Instead of filling the stomach with one kind of food,take small portions of different foods.
Keep a slow pace while eating.The mind takes 15-20 minutes to understand and realize the eating process.Give a gap of atleast 15 minutes for ordering the main course or other dishes.Again the same applies here “eat less,talk more”.Eating should not be the sole aim to go out and spend time.
Check your sugar and sodium contents of meal.Too many sweets and desserts or very fried and spicy dishes are not good for health.


Follow ups after eating out

Neutralise your junk food with antioxidants like fruits and vegetables.
Detoxify yourself once in 15 days.
Make water an important part of your daily eating for optimal health and maximum energy.
Alcohol and tobacco spoil the quality of your LIFE.
Exercise is not a choice – IT’S A MUST!!!
Brisk walking 30 minutes a day for 5 days will improve fitness.

CHEERS!!!!!!!!!!!
