How to Control Your Eating...While at a Buffet

There are thousands of buffets scattered around the country, and chances are, you either go to them for a social function or you go there because you love as much bang for your buck as you can get. However, this can prove to be a major problem if you are in the process of trying to lose weight. Buffets promote eating until you are stuffed since you pay a set price for as many plates as you can eat. Before you begin dieting, it’s important to have a buffet strategy in line so you don’t get distracted from your weight loss routine.

- Try to get a seat as far away from the food counters if you can. Also, do not fill up multiple plates with food; only go up once for one plate full of food. The further you sit from all the delicious food, the better chance you’ll have of not going up multiple times to eat food that you don’t even need. Be sure not to hover over the food counters and continuously eat food out of the trays. You don’t want to be “that guy.”
- Portions have everything to do with dieting, so make sure that you choose small plates to eat from. Some buffets have one size only as far as plates and bowls go, but if there are smaller ones for dessert, try to take those in order to eat your main meal off of.
- Fill up your buffet plate with as many healthy things you can find first before adding meats and other, less healthy foods. You can try putting a small cushion of salad, brown rice, and vegetables on the plate first.
- Scope out the buffet food before you begin to fill your plate too. This will help you be aware of the foods you are most interested in so you don’t need to get up multiple times and be enticed to eat unhealthy foods.
- If you’re going to the buffet as a social gathering, eat next to someone who eats really slow and takes time to enjoy their food. This will help you pace yourself because you will become a bit more self-conscious as you don’t want to look like a pig in front of everyone.
- Don’t drink alcohol or other carbonated beverages. This will bloat you, make you feel uncomfortable, and will add extra, unnecessary calories to your body which will certainly make you gain weight.
- Choose a safe, all-natural appetite suppressant to take before leaving to go to the buffet. One of the safest and most recommended appetite suppressants on the market is Phen375, which will help eliminate those strong buffet cravings that many people get when eating out at a restaurant, particularly buffets. It will help you eat only the things that are healthy for you and eat only what your body knows it can handle.

By following these steps, you can be sure that you will be able to have your diet routine uncompromised by going out and enjoying an afternoon or evening with friends.

Best Meal Plan Ideas for Phen375

Many people believe that the best way to lose weight is to maintain a diet of three meals per day containing very small portions. However, recent science and modern research proves otherwise. People who eat six smaller meals spread out between two to three hours each during the day are more likely to be successful at losing weight. This isn’t suggesting that you eat six chocolate bars per day; it means that you eat three meals filled with protein and other nutrients along with three meals that contain “power nutrients.”

When you combine this sort of diet along with exercise and your daily regimen of Phen375, you are dramatically increasing your chances of your body being able to burn fat in a more efficient manner. Looking great because of the weight you lost is a great reward, but the best reward is feeling great on the inside, which Phen375 can help you achieve.

But what are “power nutrients” and how effective are they? Power nutrients are foods used in a meal that carry high amounts of nutritious properties that enhance metabolism (ability to burn fat and carbohydrates) give you energy. Weight loss diets that include these power nutrients will work well in both men and women.

Almonds, beans, eggs, and leafy green vegetables are great sources of these power nutrients. Almonds contain properties that make your stomach feel full (helping you eat less) and also have a lot of protein to feed your muscles and keep you awake during the day. Beans are healthy as well and eggs also have protein. The leafy greens have lots of nutrients and are consumed in large amounts by athletes because they help get rid of stomach fat.

Try to eat oatmeal for breakfast and include some blueberries or raspberries in it as well. Oatmeal is a great product that helps your body wake up and get going and the berries contain tons of healthy antioxidants that studies prove to help reduce your risk of cancer and other health problems that may arise. If you want a sweeter taste, try adding a little bit (not too much!) of honey to the mix. Honey is known to help fight allergies and has many health benefits as well.

If you like to cook with butter, try switching it out with extra virgin olive oil. This oil helps clean your arteries and veins out. What’s cool about this type of oil is that it can be used to clean your face or hair as well!

Lots of people like to eat sandwiches for lunch and even dinner too. While a PB&J may taste good on white bread, the enriched flour that this contains isn’t too healthy for you and actually contributes to constipation because it turns to sugar once inside your body. To substitute this, try buying whole wheat bread. A lot of people like the oat nut whole wheat style breads because they taste a little nutty and flavorful. If you toast these types of bread, they go great with peanut butter or jam.

These powerful foods will help you lose weight and not pack on the pounds. Combine all of these with Phen375 and you can be sure to be losing a few pounds each week. Many people who have used or still use Phen375 say they have lost as much as three pounds per day!
