Is eating out, hurting your figure? Food dates may be great for your love life, but they can wreak havoc on your waistline. The good news…experts say there are things you can do to not only survive food dates, but thrive on the them. One of the things working in your favor on a food date is time. Eating slowly is a good thing for weight control. It takes 20 minutes for your stomach to tell your brain that it is no longer hungry. One of the easiest ways to make a food date easier on your diet is to split your entrée with your sweetheart, especially if you're in a restaurant that serves mammoth portions. And finally, don’t waste your calories on what you drink. So try unsweetened iced tea, hot tea, coffee, club soda with lemon or lime, diet soft drinks, or mineral water with your meal.
