Help I have to take a client out to dinner

mariasacuna5 · March 2015

I have to entertain a client for dinner tonight which means alcoholic beverages and great food. It's just my second day back on healthy eating and now I don't want to go astray. I think maybe what I should do is plan what I will eat and just order sparkling water instead of any wine or cucumber Martinis. Any suggestions?!?!?

Check out the menu of the restaurant in advance so you have an idea of what you might have. Totally ignore the bread basket. Don't clean your plate unless portions are small. Try to order something that is recognizable so you can log it. If your client drinks, order one and only one. You don't want to be pounding drinks with clients anyway. Avoid dessert.

Can you plan to eat less early in the day so you can indulge at night? That's usually what I do on a day I know I'm eating out.

Allocate your calories+ portion control+ healthier choices(optional)+ do some exercise spread the surplus over the next week. Easy to cry off alcohol or nurse it and make it last.

Eat light during the day and make sure you don't go to dinner feeling super hungry. Have a small snack before. Scan the menu online if you can and try to make your choices beforehand.
