Three tips for people who eat out to fight fat without worrying about food

"Foreigners, foreigners, eat out for all three meals." Are you a typical "eater out"? Do you unknowingly eat a lot of fat and accumulate it in your abdomen, thighs, etc.? With the change of lifestyle, more and more people are eating out. How to control weight while eating out is often a problem for many people. Doctors remind that as long as you master three tips, you can still easily enjoy delicious food when you go out.

Lin Zhaoqi reminds people who eat out not to forget to take their weight into consideration when enjoying delicious food.

Lin Zhaoqi, chief physician of the family medicine department of Shutian Clinic, said that the three tricks are "three musts and three don'ts", including ordering food a la carte instead of set meals; steaming food instead of frying it; and not eating until you are hungry instead of eating until you are full.

In order to cater to the needs of different groups of customers, many restaurants now offer set menu options, with main courses paired with side dishes, drinks, etc. The portions of set meals are usually quite sufficient and you may even feel full. Therefore, it is recommended that you order dishes a la carte, choose what you want to eat, and order according to your appetite to avoid overeating in order to finish the entire set meal.

Also, pay attention to the choice of cooking method. Steaming and blanching are preferred, followed by roasting, and try not to fry. Whether you are eating on a daily basis or dining with friends and family, please choose food types according to this principle and avoid eating too much greasy food. When choosing dishes, choose clear soup instead of thick soup, and eat more fruits and vegetables instead of desserts and drinks. These are all ways to reduce calories.

Many people think that they should eat until they are full, but in fact, when they feel full, they have often eaten more food than the body needs. Therefore, it is recommended that people who eat out start with small portions. If you are still hungry, you can gradually increase the amount of food. As long as you are not hungry, it is fine and you do not eat until you are full.

Lin Zhaoqi reminded that weight control is a course that requires long-term implementation. In addition to adjusting the diet, you should also exercise moderately to achieve the goal of fighting fat.
