Order a Happy Ending

“You've been eating really well, but your family is going out to dinner this weekend. Here's how to order up a happy ending.”

When eating out, it's best if you know in advance where you'll be going. Many restaurants have websites with their menus posted. Some go so far as to give nutrition information - even if it's limited. If your restaurant doesn't have fat and calorie info at least, look over the menu and decide what items you think would be the wisest choice for you. If you are unsure, call the restaurant and ask if they can make recommendations. Try to call well ahead or after lunch and dinner to get the best customer service. Simply knowing what's going to be served up will allow you to enjoy your night out without undoing your progress.
