Eat Out without Pigging Out!

Celebrating special occasions often involve dining at a favorite restaurant. The temptation to overeat is a strong urge to fight. But it can be conquered!

More restaurants are offering “small plate” options. These can help with portion control.

Slow down and put your fork down! Enjoy conversations more by taking an eating break. Put your fork down and hands in your lap to slow down.

Share a meal to reduce portion sizes and money.
