1. order small side salad with: nuts, cheese and oil based dressing.(no iceberg ok-try dark green leafy stuff)Oh don't ask them to put the dressing on the side, just ask for it lightly dressed. You know you are going to end up using it up anyway plus it's annoying.
2. order side plate of veggies: sauted mushrooms, asparagus, or mixed veggie plater
3. order something your really want or crave, tell waiter to pack half in togo box before the plate hits the table. (also don't order sugar loaded drinks-this will trigger you to want to eat more. Have club soda w/splash of any juice. This is my fave: Mineral water over ice, splash of cherry syrup (a bit-not compared to what is in soda)lime and 2 cherries:)
Ok for those of you who lick your plates this is going to be a challenge-Leave 4 spoonfuls on your plate. Other words don't clean the plate pig. Anyway, by this point you should feel sane. After, salad, side dish...
If you want desert, share w/friend and eat only 4 bites. Savor them-and go on with your evening. This is what I do and it keeps me from pigging out when I go out. Just because you go out doesn't give you the right to over-eat. One thing to remember is, the plates they serve are for 3 people to eat :)'
