Eating out can be a tough in a world full of high energy food and drink. Even more so in the square mile, more outings and more choice.

A small piece from spirituality and health caught my eye this week, with some super helpful tips to keep it clean when dinning out and about. Excepts come from the ‘Forks over knives plan’.

TAKE HOME MESSAGE….

– When eating out with a group, you should try to actively participate in choosing the restaurant.
With time, you’ll get to know places near you that either have suitable items on their regular menu, or that are happy to accommodate your requests

– When traveling, due diligence is key: Before you go, research some good possibilities at your destination.
Don’t be afraid to call a restaurant in advance and tell them what you’re looking for.

– Once you know what the good options for restaurants are, you can suggest two or three of them and let your fellow diners pick
Confident that wherever you end up there’s little risk you’ll be hungry when you leave.

– If you feel like you might not have enough options when you get wherever you’re going, you can always eat some healthy food at home before you go. This way you won’t be so hungry when you arrive, and you won’t be completely dependent on the kitchen to serve you enough.
