Eating Out on a Diet
You won’t find better pizzas or pasta dishes anywhere else
in the world, but most Italian menus also include grilled fish
and chicken, which can be great diet choices.
Grease really can be the word for some Greek meals, which
are often swimming in olive oil.
While plenty of costal areas cater for British tastes and
specialise in fish and chips and full English breakfast,
Spanish dishes may be kinder to your waistline.
Eating out Thai style is a good choice as there are usually
plenty of healthy options on the menu and portion sizes tend
to be small.
Whether you’re on holiday in the UK or dining
out in a traditional English restaurant, you’ll be spoilt for
choice.
Cooking is an art form in France and the
taste and appearance of food is generally regarded as being
more important than its health benefits.
Many American and Mexican restaurants
feature fast food – with meat and fries making up the bulk of
the dishes.
Spicy Indian meals can be a great choice
because even a small portion can satisfy your taste buds.
Although traditional Chinese meals are
low-in fat and packed with vitamins and minerals, the dishes
from Chinese restaurants and takeaways can be loaded with
calories.
