I know for me bread and chicken Alfredo pastas are my weakness...howver I skip the bread . I will try the Alfredo with a little butter and no sauce with spices. I always get water with my meals so it helps keep me full. Wow thanks for posting. I know for me bread and chicken Alfredo pastas are my weakness…howver I skip the bread .

My life has always been one where we met for coffee, drink , do lunch or try a new restaurant for dinner. If I didn't figure out how to handle this, my lifestyle would fail because it's such a deeply ingrained part of my daily activity. After reading a few blogs such as yours I did just things you mentioned; no bread, water with my meals, avoid fried foods and cream sauces. I also always order a salad no, cheese or croutons and either get the dressing on the side or ask for oil and vinegar. There are a few restaurant chains that are simply off limits. Cheesecake factory is one, but so far I have been able to safely eat and enjoy myself while still dining out with friends.

Another tip would be to order a salad straightaway (no extra dressing, please (smile)) while you decide on what to eat. This along with drinking water will help avoid eating too many extra calories.

Nooooo lol. I think your first tip was the best. If I'm not going to try the specialty (usually fatty and sublime) I'm not going to go. I know a lot of people report "having to go" , like for a work event or with their friends, and the advice listed is good for that. Thanks! Skip the cream sauce? Nooooo lol.

After reading this I still went to Wendy's but I got a salad with no dressing instead. Thank you for stopping me.
