When on a diet, one thing that matters is your commitment to continue to do so. However, we are not always in a state that allows for diet, for example, when invited to eat together or have to attend a party.
According to JJ Virgin, fitness and nutrition experts from the United States, the food at the restaurant often contain more calories than originally envisaged. Even healthy foods also may not match what is expected, for example salad.
May sound healthy salad with vegetable composition, dried fruit, or nuts, but the dressing or sauce that is used can make a surge of calories and fat in these foods. Even the cheese is added to the salad can increase the amount of calories equivalent to the calories in cheese burger or fried in equal portions.
Even so, no need to feel too worried about eating out will ruin your diet. Virgin gives tips that might help you as follows.

The menu at the restaurant is actually just a recommendation, but actually you can ask to replace the materials in order to be healthy. For example, the menu spinach and salmon served with cheese, you can ask to replace the cheese with vegetables.
2. Start with a salad
Eating a salad first before eating other foods will suppress appetite high-calorie foods. However, make sure that you use the dressing is vinegar or olive oil alone.
3. Beware of fried foods
Fried foods contain more fat, so better you order food in a way as if boiled, baked, or roasted.
4. Ask detailed presentation
When looking at the menu, there may be things that you do not understand about the presentation of the food to be ordered. So, know in advance so as not to regret it when eating, for example, there is a complementary dish high in saturated fat, and even cause allergies.
5. Self-awareness
If the purpose of the dinner is to celebrate something, then focus on the things that are celebrated, not for food. You can reproduce the conversation with friends your dinner rather than busy attention to the food.
