This week I discuss some tips and tricks when dining out socially with friends or family members. Cooking for yourself is ideal to optimize your health but dining out doesn't have to be an unhealthy event as long as you follow the following tips:

• Have a healthy snack (handful of almonds or raw veggies)  before you go out to dinner
• Drink water with apple cider vinegar (helps prevent insulin spike at dinner)
• Ask the server to refrain from bringing bread to the table (don't get tempted :)
• Start your meal with a side salad or healthy soup so you will be less likely to overeat when your meal comes
• Drink water before and during meals (avoid sugars and empty calories of soda or alcohol)
• Be the 1st person to order so you are not tempted by other less healthy dishes that may be ordered
• Avoid fried foods, creamy sauces, and breaded items
• Order items that are grilled, braised, steamed or pan seared
• Ask the server if they can cook your food in a healthier oil like olive oil, coconut oil, ghee, or tallow instead of seed oils, margarine, etc
• Don't be afraid to ask for healthy substitutions  (i.e. baked potato instead of fries)

Hopefully these tips can help you stay on track when you are dining out!

Have a great week!
