Healthy Combos<\/h2>\n

Meal Balance is Easy!<\/h2>\n

Sustaining a healthy balance is key in everything you do. Entr\u00e9e descriptions hold the key to healthy eating choices.\u00a0 Adding more non-starchy vegetables<\/a> with your meat selection is an option without portion limits that provides freedom to enjoy a meal without working at it.\u00a0 <\/strong>Plan to enjoy special occasions and holidays with minimal effort using PTF eating system as your restaurant choices guide<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Portion sizes don\u2019t have to be small to be healthy.\u00a0 Combining PTF suggested portions<\/a> of meats and a variety of non-starchy vegetables can be very filling!\u00a0 Requesting sauces and dressings on the side instead of mixed into your food is a great choice!\u00a0 Mimic the PTF food combinations when you make restaurant selections. You may need to choose from the sides menu instead of selecting restaurant entr\u00e9e combinations. Choose to replace potatoes with double portions of non-starchy vegetables and substitute a dinner beverage such as espresso instead of a sweet dessert.\u00a0 Your health is worth creating your own combination choices! These alternatives give you the control to more closely align your restaurant meal with your Personal Trainer Food plan.\u00a0 Eat within your PTF meal plan for your regular meals during the day. Enjoy your restaurant meal celebration with selections that imitate your PTF plan and use your PTF guidelines<\/a> to make healthy choices!<\/p>\n

Restaurant and Meal Plan Combo<\/h2>\n

Check out the restaurant menu online ahead of time. Deciding which entr\u00e9e to select ahead of time will prevent you from making a hasty choice.\u00a0 A quick call or email<\/a> to your PTF weight loss coach will answer your questions about entr\u00e9e selections, and your online guidelines<\/a> are always available to look up foods that fit within your plan whether you\u2019re at home or on the go!<\/p>\n

\"Restaurant<\/figure>\n

Eating an oversized portion results in feeling stuffed and bloated and may change your enjoyment at the celebration because you feel uncomfortable after eating. To prevent feeling overstuffed, eat half of your entr\u00e9e at the restaurant and bring the other half home.\u00a0 Your meal plan will show you the way.<\/p>\n

Celebrations can be non-food-related<\/a> altogether.\u00a0 They are really about the event, friends, and family and less about the food you eat when enjoying those special moments.\u00a0 When you are celebrating at a restaurant, align your meal choices with your healthy and convenient PTF meal plan to maintain your commitment to healthy eating.<\/p>\n

Happy whatever you\u2019re celebrating! ENJOY!<\/p>\n
