While you are downtown at Indiana Black Expo Summer Celebration, don’t let your diet go downhill. Here are a few ways you can stick to your diet while enjoying all the festivities!
Be assertive with the wait staff – Ask how foods are prepared, and request that your order be made according to low-fat, low-calorie preparation methods.
Make a meal out of appetizers – since appetizer portions are often smaller than entrees.
Order salad dressing on the side – or bring your own. Olive oil and lemon is a healthy and delicious alternative to cheesy restaurant dressings.
Enjoy alcohol in moderation – since it can increase your appetite and lower your inhibitions.
Practice portion control – Don’t eat the whole thing; take some home for lunch or dinner the next day. Try the three-bite rule, especially for desserts.
