Your Steakhouse Survival Guide

Ask Glen!





Q. Glen, I Love Ruth Chris Steak House ! How do I make through dinner?

A. It seems like a mission impossible, but you can survive the steakhouse without contributing to your bottom line. Although you may hear the call of coconut fried shrimp and French onion soup, don't respond. And when the waiter brings the basket of piping hot bread and honey butter to your table, look the other way. Instead opt for these diet smart choices that'll help you make it through the meal with your diet still intact. Healthy options include: grilled fish or chicken with a side of vegetables and a plain baked potato. A small sirloin with a side salad is also a safe option. You can also enjoy soup and salad. However, avoid cream-based soups and fat-laden dressings.

Glen's Bottom Line: Eat a steak ! ( sometime )

Stock Up on Single Serving Drinks

Ask Glen!





Q. Glen, I drink the wrong stuff! When I am thirsty I grab a quick soda or energy drink any suggestion's?

A.When you're on the go and thirsty, it's always convenient to grab a soda or an energy drink. However, most of the time you're sucking down an abundance of caffeine and sugar. Why not pick up a box of single serving, low-calorie drinks? Crystal Light now sells individual packets that can be added to a bottle of water. Simply pour in the packet, shake well and you have yourself a healthy, refreshing beverage with no calories and no sugar. Satisfy yourself without the soda. Your body will thank you.


Glen's Bottom Line: Drink Light!

Make Friends With Your Server

Ask Glen!

Q. Glen, How do I order the good healthy stuff on the menu when I am eating out?

A. In a restaurant, there's probably nobody more familiar with the menu than the waitstaff, with the exception of the kitchen staff. If you're unsure what to order, get a recommendation from your server. Explain that you're trying to eat healthy and ask what they'd suggest. In addition to advocating a healthy offering off the menu, they might know of popular meals that aren't found on the menu. Many restaurants are flexible when it comes to meeting the needs of their patrons.

Glen's Bottom Line: Ask the staff..

One for Two: A Dieter's Strategy For Dining Out

Ask Glen!

Q. Glen, Any tips for dinning out with your mate?

A. Take one bite for every two bites your dining companion takes. It may sound silly, but what have you got to lose but weight? It's easy to get distracted when you're dining out with a companion. Between conversation and eating, many people often lose track of how much food they consume. In order to keep tabs and cut back your intake, concentrate on taking one bite for every two bites that your fellow diner takes. You'll be surprised at how much less you end up eating.

Glen's Bottom Line: Watch what they eat!

Who Says It's Not Easy Eating Green

Ask Glen!

Q. Glen, I Love Meat! I eat it all the time.. What esle should I do?

A. Go green. Load up sandwiches and salads with plenty of garden variety vegetables. Add fresh spinach leaves to compliment your ham and cheese sandwich or top your salad with broccoli, celery and other popular greens. Green fruits and vegetables lower your risk of cancer, prevent degenerative eye diseases and strengthen bones and teeth. Avocados, artichokes, celery, cabbage and watercress are all low-calorie, health-enhancing staples that bring plenty of flavor to the table.

Glen's Bottom Line! Be Incredible!Mean Green!

Chew, Chew Training

Ask Glen!

Q. Glen. I dont eat that much But I find it hard to swallow some time! Any suggestions?

A.Chewing your food is the first step in the all-important digestion process. In order to digest food properly, your food must be broken down into a liquid form before it's swallowed. When you don't get the job done, large food particles that haven't been digested make an appearance in the stool. One expert actually encouraged that individuals chew 100 times before swallowing. While you don't need to go to that great length, it is important to chew your food in the name of better digestion.

Glen's Bottom Line: Chew your food...Good!

Holiday Drinks Will Make You Fat

Ask Glen!





Q. Glen, With the Holidays approaching I am watching what I eat! But can I have a few drinks?

A. When most people think of holiday weight gain, they concentrate more on what they're eating than what they're drinking. However, sipping on high-calorie, high-fat beverages can be just as damaging to your diet. If you don't want to bulge, then watch how you indulge. Check out these diet-derailing drinks. Just six ounces of eggnog has 257 calories and 14 grams of fat. A hot toddy will set you back 200 calories for just two ounces. A martini such as a Cosmopolitan can add up to 800 calories for just one drink. A margarita can cost you about 400 calories.


Glen's Bottom Line: If you don't want to bulge, then watch how you indulge!

Eat Your Favorite Foods, Lose Weight

Ask Glen!

Q. Glen , I dont want to give up my favorite foods to lose weight! What do I do?

A.You're dieting, not dead. The quickest way to get deterred from your weight loss efforts is to imagine a life without your favorite foods. Eliminating the foods you love is a recipe for disaster. The trick is to enjoy smaller amounts of the foods you can't live without. If you can't do without that double chocolate brownie, treat yourself once a week. The most important rule of thumb is to enjoy these indulgences in moderation.

Glen's Bottom Line: Eat in Moderation!

Shop Til You Drop The Pounds!

Ask Glen!




Q. Glen, When the weather is bad, How do I get my daily walk in?

A.Window shop. Don't spend...expend. Hit the mall in the name of better health. When inclement weather sidetracks your normal walk, take to the nearest mall and make great strides. Peek in the windows as you pass by your favorite stores...over and over. Walk through the mall and take in the sights. In addition to a change in scenery, the mall is also a safe place when you're taking a solo stroll

Glen's Bottom Line: No Excuses ! Walk......................

Your ticket to weight loss

Ask Glen!

Q. Glen, Any Ideals on how I can accomplish my goals?

A. Write down your goals. You know what it is you want to do. Now you just need to see it in black and white. Take out a pen and a piece of paper and jot down your goals. It may be as simple as drinking more water or as complex as hiring a personal trainer. Regardless of how basic or how lofty your goals are, put them in writing so you have a reminder of what it is you're trying to accomplish.

Glen's Bottom Line: Want to accomplish something? Then put it down....on paper!
