Addicted to RestaurantsAre you addicted to restaurants? So are lots of Americans. Whatused to be a "treat," going out for dinner, has become morecommon that cooking at home, and we think we're better off? Thinkagain. Restaurant eating, fast foods and highly processed foodsare turning us into a nation of tubby's. It's time to take backcontrol of our waistlines.You choose where you eat, and you choose what you eat. Here aresome suggestions to begin to make better choices.Restaurants Exist to Make a ProfitThe bottom line is restaurants exist to make a profit. They pileon the extra butter and rich cream sauces, caramelized sugartoppings, cheese sauce, double-deluxe, new improved, and whateverthey can do to make the food so enticing, so delicious, we justcannot resist. Fine for an occasional splurge, but not everydayfare, and herein lies the problem.Extra Value MealsMcDonalds started the trend by offering slightly larger portionsfor a bit more money, and every other food establishment quicklyfollowed suit. Extra value they called it. Who wouldn't order abit more for only pennies? Today nearly every restaurant, fastfood or sit down dining, serves gigantic quantities that bogglethe mind. There is usually enough food served for two, sometimesthree meals.Reading in Restaurant Confidential (get a copy of this book andread it until it sinks in), the calorie count in the typicalrestaurant meal is so staggering it ends the surprise of whyobesity is rampant and on the rise. Cheese fries with Ranchdressing are listed at having over 3,000 calories and 217 gramsof fat (91 of them saturated). That's an entire day's worth offood, and it's considered an appetizer. Most people don't justeat the cheese fries either, so add in the rest of your day'scalories and you end up with far more than you may realize.Anyone who eats out regularly (at least once a day) is likelyconsuming closer to 5,000 calories a day, which easily explainstheir being overweight.Getting the Calories Out of Restaurant FoodUnless you mentally make it okay to pay good money for very plainfoods, you're not likely to solve this puzzle. Here are a coupleof painless ideas you can put into action at restaurants:1. Just say NO to super sizing. The size you ordered is alreadytoo big. Stop super sizing and you'll save money (see How to SaveMoney and Lose Weight).2. Skip the bread and rolls served with most meals. Most familyrestaurants still serve a bread basket with your meal. Unlessit's a fresh baked loaf, or some special bread, just skip it. Youdon't need to fill up on ordinary bread when you're paying goodmoney for a meal - just push it away - it's not that good. Youcan do it, if you want to - it's not that hard to simply choosenot to put a roll on your plate. Try it, just once and see if youdon't walk out of that restaurant feeling strangely powerful.If you can't skip the rolls, at least skip the butter. That'sright. Eat it plain. Bread all by itself is good enough.3. Stop ordering drinks with your meals. I stopped buying thesoft drinks many years ago when I realized they are a huge cashcow for the fast food restaurants. For pennies, they sell you asquirt of syrup and soda water and act like they're doing you abig favor by only charging you $1.29 for a giant 64 ounce soda.Start saving those dollars. If you take the meal home, just don'tget a drink, and if you're eating it there, ask for water, or atleast switch to diet drinks. Never drink "fat pop."5. Trim visible fat and skin. You really love the skin - ofcourse it tastes good, it should, it's pure fat. Do you want toget leaner, or do you want to eat fat? You choose. I never eatchicken skin, and never eat the visible fat hanging off a steak,good taste or no. You have to decide what you want more, thesecond's worth of pleasure of a yummy taste, or a lifetime ofcarrying around an extra 40 lbs?6. Ask for a doggie bag at the beginning of the meal. When thefood is served, immediately portion off some to take home fortomorrow. Some restaurants always serve too much. Do this atthose establishments to get used to the idea.7. Get a copy of Restaurant Confidential and start checking outhow much you're eating. Yes, I mentioned this twice. It'simportant. If you think eating out isn't causing part of theproblem, I say, you're fooling yourself. This little book canhelp you realize what's been going on, and then you may find iteasier to choose other dishes, split the meal into two, or skipsome extras.8. Order one dinner and ask for an extra plate. Many restaurantswill do this for $1.00 or $1.50 extra and it's well worth it.Then share the meal with your friend and you split the coststraight down the middle.Turn Eating Out Back into a TreatIf you really want to get a handle on your weight problem, thenfirst look at where you eat, second what you eat, and third howmuch you eat. If you absolutely cannot give up going torestaurants or fast food places every day, then you must startordering plain, unadorned foods. I you can't do that (which Ican't) then just go out less often. Turn it back into a treat, aspecial occasion type thing, and then eat whatever you want. Findwhat works for you, and then do it.Train your Eye to Accept Less FoodStart training your eye to accept less food on the plate. We'vetaught ourselves to expect heaps of food, but your body doesn'tneed such huge quantities. Frankly, it takes a very tiny amountof food to supply our needed nutrients.If they developed a pill which contained all the calories andnutrients our bodies required, no one would want to take it. Welike to eat. Eating is pleasurable, it's part of the makeup andexperience of being human. Take back control of that most basicof human needs. Cook at home for friends and bring joy back intoyour life through food.If I Ate Out More Often I'd Gain Weight - it's That SimpleI know I maintain my weight with an average of about 2,200calories a day. That's more than most dieters strive for, so howdo I get away with eating that much -- I make better choices.If I started eating out at restaurants more often, I'd suddenlybe eating nearly double what I eat now (calorie wise), withouteven trying. Double the calories and guess what? Weight gainwon't be far behind.Trying to radically change your approach to food or exercise israrely successful. More people that are successful at losingweight and keeping it off do so by making changes andincorporating them into their lifestyle. Start now. Choose onehabit (such as eating out every day) or regular food you eat, anddecide to cut back on how often, or the quantity. Set a plan, anddo it.Make a deal with yourself and keep it. If you find you cannot -that you set yourself too strict a cutback, then modify it and doit again. Keep at it and you'll be successful.If you eat out every day during the week for lunch, here's a planto make a small change. Carry your lunch one day a week, or savethe extra from dinner out on Sunday night for lunch on Monday.Get together with your coworkers for a walking lunch everyWednesday. If there's a gym of fitness club in the vicinity ofyour work, join along with your coworkers and make an agreementto work out together three days a week, at lunch time. Take brownbag foods you can eat at your desk those days.These small changes add up to big results. Try a couple in yourdaily life and see what happens.
