Tips On Dining Out Be Colorful

Order Appetizers and Sides

Dip Into Sauce Give yourself no more than a tablespoon

Create your own smorgasbord  Share an entree with a friend  (save money too)  You’ll get a chance to sample a wider variety of items and keep portions down to size  Decide in advance to sample only two or three forkfuls of each dish  It’s especially important to be aware of hunger and satiety signals

Chew Slower  Your digestive process gets a chance to work properly  You will be able to savor your food  More likely to stop eating when you are full  Remember, it usually takes mins to get the signal that you are full  Sit back from time to time, take a deep breath and decide whether you have had enough
