HFL QUICK-TIPS FOR EATING OUT
• Have a light snack about an hour before going out.
• Start with a salad or broth soup.
• Don’t be afraid to customize your meal: ask for dressing and sauces on the side,
no bread basket, no rice, extra veggies, and fruit or sorbet for dessert.
• Limit alcohol to one drink.
• Practice portion control: take half your entrée home or share it.
• Eat slowly and ask the waiter to put in your main order after you finish your salad.
