We all love to dine out. Here are some simple steps to make staying In The Zone easier when you're at a restaurant.

Zone Rules for Dining Out

• Never eat the rolls. If you're going to eat carbohydrates, save it for dessert.
• Always choose a low-fat protein entrée and ask to replace any starches or grains with extra vegetables.
• While waiting for dinner, have a glass of water.
• If the low-fat protein you order is significantly greater than the size of your palm, take the excess home.
• Determine whether the carbohydrates on your plate are favorable or unfavorable. If you're eating favorable carbohydrates, have double the volume of carbohydrates compared to the protein portion.
• If dining out is not complete without dessert, then don't eat any carbohydrates during the meal. Order whatever you want for dessert, but eat only half.
