The hardest part about sticking to a diet for most people is social settings! Being on a diet does not mean you can not have a life. You just need to amp up your will power and have a plan of action.
Try these tips to eating smart in social settings
1) Never attend a social event on an empty stomach. Have a healthy snack before the event so you are not tempted to make a beeline for the food. Instead, spend time socializing with a glass of water in hand!
2) Use a plate! Limit yourself to one plate of food. Don't just nibble on a little of this and a little of that. You are more likely to remember your caloric intake if you see it all at once on your plate.
3) Be a food snob and don't be embarrassed! Stay away from anything fried or marinated. Although it may look good, it is going to blow your caloric deficit for the day.
4)During moments of weakness, take a quick moment to reflect and visualize the new you! Remember, temporary discomfort and sacrifices equals permanent satisfaction.
