Pam Turney, RN with Memorial Hospital has two tips to help you when eating out and when battling the urge to snack.
1. Dining out at a restaurant: when your meal comes out immediately ask the wait staff to bring you a to go box and put 2/3's of the meal in the box and place to the side. Eat the remaining 1/3 of your meal. If having the to go box still on the table and that creates too much of a temptation then have the wait staff remove the box entirely. This also elevates overeating.
2. Identify your most vulnerable times for snacking and plan a defense before temptation strikes.
