When you're trying to lose weight, you may feel like you have to give up all the fun things in your social life in order to meet your goals: happy hours, birthday parties, and dining out are all filled with temptations and opportunities to slip up. Fortunately, fat-loss coach Carter Good explains the four easy steps to eating out and still losing weight.
The steps include:
"Your diet plan should never, EVER take away from living life & spending time with others," Carter wrote in his caption. "See, many-a-folk get so obsessed with their weight loss goals that they end up isolating themselves or avoiding social events." Instead, he recommends people follow his four-step plan and enjoy themselves while they're out.
Some other tips for eating out include watching your portion sizes. Restaurant portions tend to be huge, so plan on taking half your meal to go or split it with a friend. You can also order a salad to start or a side of veggies to load up on nutrient-rich, low-calorie vegetables, which will make you feel full faster.
