Prevent weight gain with one course meals

If you answered yes then you could gain weight easily, especially if you dine out regularly and lead a fairly sedentary life.

Start with a good choice

Try and be selective regarding the choice of starter that you order. Try and opt for something that is healthy and less fattening that other options. In addition, be cautious when consuming salads as salad dressings may add tons of calories to your meal. Rather opt for the dressing on the side.

Savour your starter

Spend time savouring and enjoying your starter and if necessary you may want to add on a small portion of other healthy foods to it. For example, you could ask for chicken strips to be added to a simple salad.

This will not only make you feel fuller for longer but will also increase your protein intake, which is excellent for weight loss.

Just remember that the chicken should be skinless. Also request that the chicken strips be grilled as opposed to deep fried, as this will reduce the fat content that is used in the cooking process.

Healthy drink

Having a healthy drink such as water with your one course meal is a great way to prevent weight gain. It may be difficult at first, but stay focused and reap the benefits of losing weight!
