EATWell OUT GUIDE
EATING OUT GUIDE We get it. No matter how hard you try, sometimes life just gets in the way of all your good intentions. You are only human after all! So, rather than avoid the sensitive subject, we wanted to put together a guide to eating out. Whether you re taking a client out for coffee or attending a friend s birthday meal, we ve put together a guide to getting through it, all with minimal damage to your results. We re certainly not recommending that you skip following our healthy diet in favour of eating out every day - that simply won t work. But, this guide is here to help you when you need it most. We couldn t possibly compare the food items in all of your favourite restaurants and takeaway joints, and we certainly wouldn t want to favour one over another. But here we ve tried to cover a select few popular establishments, and highlight the best options for you. 2
EATING OUT GUIDE: LUNCH Eating out at lunchtime can be a tricky one.
