When dining out or attending social events, plan ahead by choosing healthy menu options, practice portion control, and prioritize dishes rich in protein and vegetables. Avoid high-calorie drinks, opting for water or unsweetened beverages instead. Feel free to request meal modifications like dressings on the side or healthier cooking methods. Eat slowly to better enjoy your meal and recognize fullness. Remember, the focus of social events is on the company and conversation, not just the food. These strategies help you stick to your goals while enjoying social occasions.
