The Williamsburg/Greenpoint area of Brooklyn is home to some of the finest dining in the Metropolitan area. All of the establishments have done an amazing job over the years of providing our neighborhood with a fabulous assortment of both continental and ethnic cuisines and spirits! It is all too common to move to the neighborhood, start enjoying the good life and add 5-10 lbs a year. So if you start at 25, by the time you are 32 it’s possible to have gained anywhere from 25-70 lbs EASILY!!!!!! As a fitness and nutrition coach, I’m often asked by my clients about what choices to make when embarking on a fitness/weight loss/diet exercise program (life style change)
While making life style changes, you can still go out to eat with friends and family- just follow some of these basic tips:
* If you know you are going out to eat, put in some extra time at the gym. Full body metabolic type training will work best.
* Before you go out, have a few glasses of water to help fill you up. Never go out starving- you will order to much food.
* No bread at the table
* No Soda or sugary drinks
* No fried food
* No desert
* Think Greens and a Beef, Fish or chicken
* Only 2 glasses of red wine. I know, this is where it all falls apart! But you must know calories from alcohol effect the body differently.
* Never let friends derail you from what is important to you
* Read the menu online before hand, if possible, and look for “healthy choices”
I have been posting my recommendations on my website, www.betzmethod.com and on the restaurants yelp page.
Enjoy
