off with the carbs, then order a glass of water and take a sip each time you are tempted to break bread. Besides, you'll want the time you would have wasted buttering and dipping to spend reading the menu for smart, sensible choices. Don't assume that you'll be able to hold out on temptations throughout the entire meal. Set yourself up for success when you order by requesting they leave off the oils and sauces. Request that your meat and vegetables be steamed, not fried. Order a salad (with light or no dressing, on the side) or side of veggies instead of fries or mashed potatoes. Bring your own. If there are certain food flavorings that you have come to enjoy as substitutes for traditionally fattening ones, bring them along and request that the chef prepare your meal plain. If you like Splenda in your iced tea, bring along a few packets. If a dash of homegrown or store-bought spices moves your taste buds better than a slathering of mayonnaise and mustard, then bring along a shaker. Bring along you own low-fat dressing for your salad.
