Eating out the "right" way

When you visit that Italian or Mexican restaurant that's a favorite of yours, is it possible to "eat healthy" while still enjoying the cuisine that you love? It is possible, but it takes a good effort and willpower to weave your way through all the potentially unhealthy obstacles.

This article over at eDiets has some great advice on how to ensure your next restaurant trip ends up being pleasant without adding the pounds on. For example, eat salsa with chips instead of cheese or guacamole when dining at a Mexican restaurant, skip the complimentary bread when eating Italian and go light on the sauces and deep-fried items when going Chinese.
