Eating Out How to Survive Christmas Dinners Without Blowing Your Diet and Still Enjoy the Occasion!

So you're going out to eat and instead of being happy and looking forward to this treat you are filled with panic and angst - all those calories will throw all your good work out of the window. It doesn't have to be like this. You are in control and this is a treat you can enjoy! After all, this doesn't happen 90% of the time. You can eat and drink what you want. Here are a few guidelines to steer you in the right direction…

Eat What You Would Normally Eat Throughout the Day Do not go without meals to make up for the evening out. Starving yourself will cause you to binge and overeat. You can make allowances over the week saving calories each day. Increase your exercise; remem-ber any form of physical exercise counts.

Have A Light Snack Before Your Go Out Having a light snack, such as toast, a banana or a low calorie yoghurt before you go out will take the edge off hunger and stop you gorging the minute you enter the restaurant.

Order a Low-Calorie Aperitif — Save the Alcohol for Later Remember, alcoholic drinks are high in calories. Quench your thirst with water or low calorie diet drinks, not alcohol. Try making your wine a spritzer (a longer drink with lemonade), and look out for low-calorie mixers.

Be the First to Order on the Table This will stop you being swayed by others' choices. If you know which restaurant you are going to, ask for a copy of the menu in advance – this will help you think ahead about your choice of dishes.

Starters, General

• Choose a clear soup - avoid the thick and creamy options. You can eat the bread but leave out the butter!

• Seafood, melon and grapefruit are good

choices

• Try to avoid rich dressings

• A low-calorie starter will show you are in control

Main Meals, General

• Choose small cuts of lean read meat

• Chicken (grilled) and fish (grilled, poached, steamed) dishes are good choices

• Dishes which are fried, coated in

• breadcrumbs or pastry dishes should be avoided

• Order a jacket potato instead of chips

• Order extra salads and vegetables

• You can ask for dressings to be served separately

Desserts, General

• Leave a little time for your food to digest before you order a dessert. Give your stomach time to send signals to your brain you are full (it takes about 20 minutes)

• Try a sorbet, a yoghurt dish, fruits or melon

Remember

• There is no need for seconds

• If there are a lot of courses, you can skip one

• Try to leave some food on your plate; you will eat less. Just because it's there doesn't mean you have to eat it!

• Eat slowly and enjoy the conversation. Put your knife and fork down - allow your body time to digest.

This is a happy occasion and you can enjoy it!

News from Windlesham Bowls Club

We are very proud to be able to tell you that one of our members, Reg Rapley, won an award at Surrey Heath

Sports Award Evening at Camberley Theatre on the

evening of 19th October. Reg was nominated for an award in the category: ‘Outstanding Services to Sport’.

Councillor Craig Fennell presented the award, and spoke of the large number of very strong nominations that had

been received this year.

Each nominee has to meet the following criteria:

1. Contributed significantly to sport over a minimum of 5 years

2. Demonstrated continued enthusiasm and devoted time and resources to

enable others to take part

3. Increased participation and enjoyment of sport and made a positive impact

in their local community.

Reg easily met the criteria for the huge numbers of hours he voluntarily de-

votes to the club, currently and in the past. The Surrey Heath Sports Awards is a prestigious event which has been running for seven years and aims to pro-

mote participation and excellence in a wide range of sports. For more infor-

mation you can contact the organiser, Ben Sword, on www.surreyheath.gov.uk/leisure

Other news in brief about our season, Windlesham Bowls Club retained their place in Division 1 of the Aldershot and District League. Our ladies came a re-

spectable third in the West Surrey League. The wonderful weather this sum-

mer enabled participation in the usual friendly matches between clubs and in inter-club competitions.

We were pleased to welcome several new members this year and look forward to our new season in April 2015. for information about the Club, please log on

to our website: www.windleshambowlsclub.co.uk .
