Lose weight while enjoying your favorite restaurants!
One of the biggest advantages of the MedWell 1-2-3 program is that the rules are simple and easy to apply when eating out. Even if you deviate from a 1-2-3 meal, your hormones are placed back into balance as soon as you consume your next MedWell product.
Divide your plate into three equal parts. On one-third of your plate, put some low-fat protein that is no bigger or thicker than the palm of your hand. That's about 3 ounces of low-fat protein for women and 4 ounces of low-fat protein for men.
Fill the remaining two-thirds of the plate with color coming mostly from non-starchy vegetables, especially those from the Mediterranean region.
Add a dash of heart healthy monounsaturated fat such as olive oil, slivered almonds, walnuts or guacamole.
You have just composed a 1-2-3 meal, enjoy!
In ethnic restaurants, it's easy to apply the hand-eye rule. Here are some examples:
| Italian |
Pass on the pasta and bread and ask for extra grilled vegetables. |
| Mexican |
Have fajitas with only one corn tortilla. |
| American |
Pass on the starches and ask for extra vegetables. |
| French |
Pass on the bread and potatoes and ask for extra vegetables. |
| Chinese |
Pass on the rice and ask for extra steamed vegetables. |
The best dessert at any restaurant is mixed berries with a little whipped cream on the side.
