~As you ponder the menu drink a full glass of water before your first course arrives. ~Whenever in doubt, enjoy a large healthy salad before your meal. ~Be aware of creamy soups, rich dressings and heavy sauces. All will be high in calories. ~Instead of partaking in a full sandwich, opt for half with veggies, green salad or soup. ~Turn down side accompaniments such as mayonnaise based salads, potato chips, french fries. ~Ask your server to box up half your order before it arrives if it is a larger entrée. ~When you are comfortably full have your leftovers removed from your grasp or douse them with salt to avoid further temptation. ~If dessert is in order, make it worthy and exactly what you want. If not, don’t waste your time.
