Make Substitutions

Remember, just because you’ve made it a point to eat healthy doesn’t mean you can’t go out every now and then to enjoy restaurant food. You just have to know what to look for, what to avoid, and where to make substitutions. You can order the chicken fajita, but instead of the Mexican rice and refried beans, ask for black beans or a salad on the side. Opt for the grilled vegetables instead of the twice-baked potato or French fries. Substitute the hash browns for sliced tomatoes. You get the idea — this stuff will take a little extra thought at first, but in no time it'll be second nature.
