Vacation Tip #3: Indulge with Portion Control
You have no choice but to eat out while on vacation. Whether you're enjoying 5 star restaurants or fast food diners, you'll be met with the same problem: huge portions.
While it is tempting to simply eat it all - you are on vacation after all - this will quickly lead to extra pounds. Use the following tips to keep your portions under control:
- When you order your meal ask for a to-go box. Take half of your meal and place it into the box before you even begin to eat. This will force you to eat a healthy portion.
- If you would rather not carry around a to-go box, ask that your entrée be made into a smaller portion. If it is dinnertime don't be afraid to ask for the lunch-sized portion.
- Pay more, and eat less. Take quality of food over quantity.
- Eat meals. Cut out snacking, stick with structured meals.
- Eat slowly, and eat foods that have been prepared slowly - that means no fast food.
