You can have the best intentions in the world, but if you have nothing good in your refrigerator, that’s most likely what you’ll wind up eating—nothing good. Sure, you can manage to eat right by relying on restaurants and takeout (see Eight Tips for Dining Out, page 38), but it’s tough to do that every day. Studies show that people who eat out often have a much higher sodium and calorie intake than those who prepare more meals at home. And it makes sense. When you cook your own meals, you have the ultimate control over what you are eating. When you have healthy food on hand, you never have to worry about what you’re going to eat next, and you’re less likely to succumb to impulsive snacking and overeating. In short, having a stocked pantry takes the stress out of eating well and helps you stay on track.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYou may be thinking you don’t have time to shop for and prepare healthy meals. But you do—because I am going to help you make the process easy and efficient. Once you invest a little time in stocking your pantry, you’ll have everything you need to whip up a healthy meal faster than you can order a pizza. In this book I’ve given you 65 easy, enticing recipes. You’ll also have plenty of “eat-on-the-run” foods that you can grab as you head out the door. And you’ll save money by forgoing all those restaurant and takeout meals.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFirst, look in your fridge, freezer, and cupboard, and take inventory of what you have. Toss any frozen “mystery meat” and canned foods that have been in your home since you moved in—you know, the things like canned pumpkin that you never got around to using for Thanksgiving six years ago. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eEight Tips for Dining Out\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEating out? Join the club—most of us eat about one in three meals away from home, and that can be bad news for your waistline. Restaurant meals tend to be higher in calories and sodium than eating at home, for several reasons. First, the portions are often oversize—studies reveal that the average restaurant portion is often two to three times a “normal” ­serving. Second, restaurants tend to be pretty heavy-handed with fat, salt, and sugar. You can still eat out and eat healthy, but it takes a little thought, and sometimes some extra planning. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGive these tips a try: \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e1. Choose wisely. \u003c\/b\u003e Yes, you can order healthfully in just about any ­restaurant, but make it easier by choosing a place that’s known for ­serving healthfully prepared food. Restaurants specializing in seafood or produce that is local or seasonal are usually a good bet.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e2. Plan ahead.\u003c\/b\u003e If you haven’t eaten at your restaurant choice before, check out its website. Most restaurants now include their menus online; some include calorie and nutrient info, as well. Decide what to order before you get there so that you are less likely to make an impulsive decision at the table.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e3. Look for the magic words:\u003c\/b\u003e steamed, poached, broiled, roasted, grilled, and baked. These are the most healthful preparations of foods. Avoid dishes with descriptions like fried, crispy, battered, creamy\/creamed, cheesy, dipped, or deep-fried. Check the menu; many chain restaurants now indicate healthy choices with a symbol. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e4. Be assertive.\u003c\/b\u003e Not sure how a dish is prepared? Ask your server. And don’t be afraid to make special requests. You can ask that sauces and dressings be served on the side, that food be broiled or steamed ­without butter, or that a dish be made without cheese, for example. Most restaurants are happy to accommodate their guests. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003e5. Keep portions human-size.\u003c\/b\u003e You know now that “portion” is more likely to be two or three actual servings. (See Appendix C, Serving Sizes.) Don’t feel compelled to clean your plate; try these ways to keep portions sensible: \u003cbr\u003e• Order two appetizers, or an appetizer and a salad, instead of an appetizer and an entrée. \u003cbr\u003e• Order an entrée to split in half—either to share with a dining partner or to take home for another meal. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003e6. Pass the bread basket.\u003c\/b\u003e It’s practically impossible to resist a basket of chips or warm bread put right in front of you at a restaurant while you’re hungry. Ask your server not to put it out at all or at least wait until the meal arrives so that you are less likely to fill up on it.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e7. Start with soup or salad.\u003c\/b\u003e Studies show that if you start a meal with a healthy soup or salad, you wind up eating fewer calories throughout the meal. So order a light appetizer like a garden salad, vegetable soup, consommé, or grilled vegetables to start your meal, and you’ll be ahead of the game.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e8. Desert dessert.\u003c\/b\u003e Are you in the habit of having dessert after every meal? Break it and do the unthinkable: say “no thanks” to dessert. If that’s too drastic, opt for sorbet, fresh fruit, or a mini-dessert (a small portion) that many restaurants now offer.","brand":"Clarkson Potter","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46300065595621,"sku":"NP9780307985576","price":16.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1842\/7735\/files\/9780307985576.jpg?v=1767736787","url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/products\/small-changes-big-results-revised-and-updated-isbn-9780307985576","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
