EASY, LITTLE-KNOWN WAYS TO STICK TO YOUR DIET WHEN YOU ARE AT A RESTAURANT
You can be “true” to a low-fat diet even when you eat out by following these tips:
1) Choose a restaurant which features a good salad bar, or one that is known for its delicious, healthful salads.
2) Lime or lemon juice is a good low-fat salad dressing substitute available at most salad bars. Seafood coctail sauce is another excellent low-fat substitute dressing.
3) Ask the waiter, or the chef to prepare your vegetables without butter, sour cream, or cheese sauces.
4) Order chicken broiled instead of fried.
5) Try a low-fat entree, such as cooked chopped broccoli, on your potato.
6) Don’t give in to temptation. Most chefs will prepare your food exactly as you request.
News About Nutrasweet
The artificial sweetener Nutrasweet, found in many diet soft drinks, begins losing sweetness after about three months. To avoid getting “sweetless” diet soda, look at the code on the bottom of the can or bottle. Many diet sodas containing nutrasweet have codes which usually begin with a number that corresponds to the last number in the current year. For example, 2 for the year 1992. That number is followed by three digits that signify the day of the year. For example, a drink canned on January 1 (the first day of the year), 1992 would be stamped with the code 2001— and may taste watery before the end of April.
