Dining Out Restaurant dining has become a way of life for most Americans. It's easy, fun, and a great way to socialize with family and friends. This need not change because you are following a lower fat diet. The key is to order wisely. Don't be afraid to ask how something is prepared or to make a special request.
Most restaurants are eager to please their patrons.
The following tips should make dining out a little easier. If you crave a steak, order a petite filet. Steamed vegetables are best. Avoid items that are described as scalloped, au gratin, in cream or butter sauce. Ask for fat-free salad dressing or have regular dressing served on the side.
