Is it better?? (what do you do...)
| Thu, 01-22-2004 - 11:58am |
Last weekend I thought when we went out to eat I'd order something healthy that I wasn't really excited about and see what happened.

I go for what I like.

Enjoy!
I think it's better to order something you like and eat less than to order something you don't like just because it's healthier. I have tried that too and in the end, I wind up eating more if I order on the basis of healthiness vs tastiness. Being healthy and having healthy habits doesn't have to be a chore or something you don't want to do or not like. That makes it harder to make them habits.

Personally, I would rather have bread and dessert and skip the entree!
We're going to a really yummy restaurant Saturday night with friends and I am already anticipating having appetizer, bread, main meal, dessert and probably a glass of wine thrown in somewhere along the way. Will I regret it afterwards...absolutely! Will I enjoy it while I'm scarfing it down...absolutely! I will be working out hard tomorrow, Saturday and Sunday to "justify" eating what I want Saturday night. I wish I could say, "hey...it works for me" but really it doesn't.
Hope this was helpful. NOT!

I like most low fat foods too, so it usually isn't a problem. Most places make it pretty tasty. I also ask them to modify things on the menu if possible. Sauce on the side is a great help. But, I would still get something I like within reason (like avoiding fettucine alfredo) and eat half of it. I always order a salad and then I feel pretty full by the time the entree comes. It is good to have the leftovers to take home.
Don't you find you are disappointed later if you don't get something you really like? Then you eat the wrong things when you get home because you are not satisfied. If you go out a lot, it might be easier to be "good". But, if you go out seldomly like I do, go for the something good and eat 1/2 of it.
