Eat Healthy When You’re Out

Try oil-and-vinegar dressing on

salads, ask the chef to remove excess

fat from beef and to trim the skin from

chicken. If in doubt, ask your waiter

for recommendations on foods that are

low in fat.

►

Pace Yourself

Remember that it’s important to increase

your activities gradually. Walk on your lunch

hour or coffee break, take the dog for an

extra walk or two, and vary your routine to

avoid burnout. It’s important to follow your

doctor’s exercise recommendations.
