Dine Out Without Sabotaging Your Diet
We all work hard during the week to eat well and be healthy but what happens on the weekend? We’ve all said it and probably done it…”I’ll just eat what I want tonight, it’s my cheat night”
I agree that a cheat day is important in a good eating plan, however, don’t let that day ruin all your hard earned progress.
Going out to eat is a nice break in the week and should be an event that you enjoy, rather than one you get home from and feel miserable either physically, psychologically, or both.
All it takes to enjoy a meal out is a bit of planning and some awareness. Here are some tips to help you stay on track with your eating plan and still enjoy your night out.
1.Don’t go out feeling over hungry or “starving”. This could lead to overeating and over drinking.
2.Call or go online and review the restaurant menu. Look for healthy dishes, substitutions, and preparation choices.
3.Eat appetizers at home before you go out. Chose fruits, vegetables or some other low carb/low fat alternative. There are tons of great recipes. This will help avoid the craving for the high calorie high fat restaurant appetizers.
4.If you have to wait for a table, don’t wait at the bar. Order a drink and move to another area to socialize. This will also help decrease the possibility of over drinking and eating the dreaded “bar food”.
5.Ask for lower calorie healthy substitutions. Ask for steamed veggies or dressing on the side and avoid high calorie cream dressings. Ask for different sauces that have good flavor and lower fat.
6.Select meat and other dishes that are prepared by barbecue, broiled, roasted, and fresh. These methods help reduce the fat content
7.Avoid all fried foods. The fried foods are either high fat and calorie or higher fat and calorie. Either way, you work too hard to allow a fried dish to ruin your progress and possibly clog your arteries.
Most restaurants now have healthy items or are willing to substitute and prepare a dish to your request. Next time you go out, review this list to keep the tips fresh. Remember, you only get one body.

Lose 20 pounds in 3 Weeks?
I was doing some research on fat loss and came across this ad which many of you may have seen. Its for Wu-Yi Chinese Tea. The ad says Lose 20 pounds in 3 weeks! Amazing.
This sounds great! Like many other products out there, this is claiming to be the best one and they even have Oprah supporting their tea.
Here is the best part.... Every one of these fat loss products and testimonials has a small disclaimer which says....
Results will vary. ALL individuals used the product in combination with
DIET AND EXERCISE!
There is the key ingredient! Diet and Exercise. Lets face it, there is no magic pill or potion. It takes dedication to a healthy lifestyle to be well.
Even though you all know my opinion, I'm going to tell you anyway,
This tea will have some health benefits, (as do other supplements) but the true method to be at your healthiest and to lose fat is a balanced Diet and Exercise.
You most likely will not lose 20 pounds of FAT in 3 weeks. In fact, say good-bye to some quality calorie burning muscle if you lose weight that fast. Call me first!
If you have any questions about health products or supplements that you are interested in or currently use, please let me know and I will be happy to assist you in making the most informed choice to achieve your goals.
Have a healthy week

A Special Valentine's Day Reminder
Well, the weekend is just about here - and so is Valentine's Day. Hopefully, your significant other is going to get you some nice flowers or a card and NOT a big ole box of chocolates.
I don't think you'll have a problem overeating either of the first two!
Ok, so bad jokes aside, just because it's a holiday filled with love and romance doesn't mean you necessarily get to go crazy. Well, not with your nutrition plan, anyway ;-)
If you get some Valentine's day chocolates...or you go out to a nice dinner and that dessert cart rolls around with your favorites...just remember your GOALS. You do have goals, right?
Anyway, I hope you have a great weekend, but before I let you go I had to remind you that TODAY is the last day of Prograde Nutrition's 14% off Prograde Lean sale. Yes, Lean is their amazing chocolate meal replacement shake.
