Chapter 60 ★Five-eight go to the restaurant to share a meal

When my husband and I first got married, we usually dined out once or twice a week.We would order an appetizer with our aperitifs, and then devour the buttered toast while we waited for the salad and wine.We each ordered a main course, like steak, vegetable dish and fried potatoes with cream and sourdough.After the meal, we also have a 1,000-calorie dessert and an after-dinner drink.God!We are out of those days forever! At that time, we gradually found that we were gaining weight, and we realized that we had to make a change.We did a lot of experimentation, and after a few years, we finally came up with something:

Neither of us stopped drinking; we were so tired of waking up in the morning feeling groggy that we would rather have dessert to replenish those calories.We finally learned to ask the waiter to take away the toast and butter, which we don't have to eat.Now, when the two of us go to the restaurant, we only order one meal for two people to share. If the two of us don’t want to eat the same main meal, we will each order an appetizer.These appetizers, such as salads, usually far exceed the consumption of one person, especially desserts, of course we also share a dessert for two people. Few restaurants today prepare reasonable portions for customers who are concerned about their weight and health.Even fewer restaurants are confronted with the fact that women eat smaller portions than men.I know people in diet clubs who can resist eating a big plate of their favorite food.In addition, most people are like hungry people, eating large plates.

These days, most restaurants accept you to order a shared meal.Even if they ask you to pay for the half meal, it's worth it, at least it's better than ordering a full meal, only eating half, and then throwing away the other half; if you barely eat it all, it's still half a meal Just in your stomach.If, when you are in a restaurant, you find that their food ratios are not considered humane, or you cannot accept ordering a half set meal, then you should not patronize this restaurant, and most importantly, let the restaurant manager know you Why stop patronizing. We eat out a lot, and we often share a meal without the guilt or overeating.
