2. Order First
Nobody wants to be the “loser” to order grilled veggies with brown rice after everyone else has ordered creamy over the top pastas and steaks. Take initiative to sort of set the “tone” of the meal .
3. Be Aware of Portions
Restaurant portions tend to be much larger than what you would eat at home. To-go boxes are your friends, so utilize them! If you find yourself getting full don’t feel obligated to eat it all in one sitting. The bonus here is you won’t overstuff yourself and you have a meal for the next day.
4. Reject Refills
Refills: they are good for your wallet, but not good for those thighs, belly and butt. A study implied that people ate 73 percent more soup when offered a free refill. As much as those complimentary baskets of bread, drinks, etc. are nice, a polite “no thanks” is the better way to go!
