I love Julia Roberts ...And I love
eating out and but how do we look like her and manage the affair with Pizza.
Based on my himalayan research and secret passed on from sages from sexy tribe. The undisclosed, untold secret goes somwhat like this
Rule No. 1
Stay away from Buffet if you are paying for it. Yes, you heard me right. No buffet lunches unless it's free.

Ala carte helps in portion control and also to
stay away from mindless eating. Also you need not wipe the plate clean, there
are people to do that job at your restaurant of choice.
Sugar Craving
If you
are like me and crave for sugar every now and then, avoid buying sweets
and storing it at home. Get one pastry and have it and get it over with. Do not
buy more than that and store. You like Ice cream ? Go to Naturals or
Baskin Robins, have one..No take away and storing in the fridge. Stay away from
2 litre Coke bottles, never buy them. Another trick that works with me is
that, no second helping unless its my fav sweet. Its too tempting break
that second piece into 2-3 and then have it one by one. Try it , it works.
Rule No. 2 : Sleeeep
Think
about it: If you’re feeling sleepy at work, you will be tempted to drink coffee
and something sweet for a quick shot of energy. Later you may skip the gym and
order dinner -- no time to cook. When you finally find yourself back in your
bed, you are too wound up to sleep.
It’s a
vicious cycle, and eventually this sleep deprivation can sabotage your
waistline and your health.
It
starts out innocently enough. “When you have sleep deprivation and are
running on low energy, you automatically go for potato chips or other comfort
foods.” In my case I binge on sweets.
Rule No. 3 : Shrink
Your Plate to Lose Weight
Buy a beautiful piece of cutlery, a plate that you
would love to eat from. But half the size of your current plate. And make it a
habit eating only from that plate. And see yourself evolve.
The same applies to you coffee mug, replace it with some expensive flavored green tea..what say :-)
Now, finally What if you get invited for a free Buffet ???
Going
out for a buffet lunch, huh.. pick only dishes you absolutely love. You don't have to
be the "victim" of every experiment the Chef did.You need not be the judge of Master Chef and give him/her marks
on their culinary expertise. Its not a competition of who tasted maximum
number of dishes and said, "Its was not that great".
Rule No. 4 : Skip the next meal after the buffet and body wouldn't complain. Body would be struggling to digest the enormous portion you had and giving some rest to the digestive system helps recover and also get over the guilt. And by that I don't mean have fruits for dinner :-). "Skip" ! "Skip" .."Skip" !
Make dining out an experience for you to relish and enjoy what you like rather than being a waste bin. Yaa , thats what happens when you treat your stomach like one.

Don't miss out to increase your water intake ..and also do some "daily" activity ( Shying away from the work work out or exercise)
See you next time at Subway right next to Pizza Hut !
