Weight Loss Tip

Eating out? Halve it, and bag the rest. A typical restaurant entree has 1,000 to 2,000 calories, not even counting the bread, appetizer, beverage, and dessert.

Weight Loss Tip

Resolve never to supersize your food portions—unless you want to supersize your clothes.

Eat Smart at Home and Away

The following is taken from my 2008 Women's Monthly Planner for March 2008. It's from last year, but still good info. The planner is published by The Positive Line.

You're never too busy to eat healthfully. Enjoy nutritious meals built around whole grains, fruits, vegetables, and low-fat dairy. For protein, focus on beans, fish, and lean meat and poultry. When eating out, practice portion control by ordering the smallest size, splitting an entree with a friend, or taking part of it home. Avoid eating food products directly out of their packages; you'll eat more without realizing it.
