Please tell me something I haven't already known for years! Eat more salads and steamed vegetables (NOT potatoes). Have an appetizer in place of a main course (if the restaurant permits this). Skip dessert. Or skip the appetizer. Who says you have to have a three (or more) course meal when you go out to eat? Stop eating when you feel "satisfied" (as opposed to stuffed). Eat at "healthy" restaurants (fast food places are NOT healthy).

I think these are good suggestions, but, I have a few more. It usually takes a while for your order to come, so while waiting, ask the waiter for plenty of water. Drinking lots of water will keep you from feeling so hungry and overeating.

need organic ideas that will help heal the lining of stomach. And I need to lose weight. I am 5'4"and I am 62 yrs. old, but thankfully every one ask if I am 47 or 52. I don't eat alot, but the metabolism just doesn't kick in. So to heal my lining of stomach with out medications is how I want to do it.

At the end, it said to ask for salad dressing, gravy, and other sauces on the side. That wasn't very helpful...because when something yummy is right in front of you, you will be tempted to eat it! There are always good substitutions for salad dressing. For example, fresh lemon juice or balsamic vinegar are good substitutes. Gravy is overall really fatty, and sauces like ketchup are fine. -Nutritionist

Or maybe you can just never eat again and you can stay home in your little room and just starve until all you are is skin and bones. Hello, Mr. Obvious! If you don't know that veggies are more healthy than fries, broiled stuff is healthier than fried stuff and anything but water is full of calories, then you are too freaking stupid to leave your house anyway.

Most of this is common sense.I noticed tgif offers smaller portions for cheaper price this also makes sense. Also need to watch the sauces poured over chicken or noodles.They tend to carry tons of calories also.fresh slasa or veggies on top is great.Instead of alfredo sauce or butter garlic sauce over chicken. Happy dieting for summer swimsuit body!!Water w lime/lemon is great alternative to 100 calorie drink.

Those are good for dining in a resturaunt, but you mentioned non- fryed foods almost everything you take out is fryed and very fattening. Just end up bringing your own lunch box everywhere you go is better .
