Choose restaurants wisely: Opting for restaurants that offer a variety of healthy options is in line with the Mediterranean diet. Look for establishments that prioritize fresh ingredients and traditional Mediterranean flavors.
Control portion sizes: The Mediterranean diet emphasizes portion control, and sharing a meal or saving leftovers for later helps in managing portion sizes.
Start with a salad or vegetable-based soup: Beginning your meal with a vegetable-based appetizer like a salad or soup aligns with the Mediterranean diet's focus on fruits, vegetables, and plant-based foods.
Opt for lean protein: Choosing lean protein sources, such as grilled chicken or fish, aligns with the Mediterranean diet's emphasis on lean proteins like poultry and seafood.
Request modifications: Asking for modifications, such as sauces on the side or grilled preparations, allows you to customize your meal to fit the Mediterranean diet.
Be mindful of sauces and dressings: Being mindful of the amount of sauces and dressings you consume helps control the intake of added fats and calories, which is consistent with the Mediterranean diet's emphasis on healthy fats like olive oil.
Fill half your plate with vegetables: Filling your plate with vegetables or opting for vegetable sides aligns with the Mediterranean diet's focus on plant-based foods.
Limit sugary beverages: Choosing water or unsweetened beverages over sugary options is in line with the Mediterranean diet's preference for hydration through water and occasional moderate consumption of wine.
Practice mindful eating: Mindful eating is a key aspect of the Mediterranean diet, as it encourages savoring each bite, eating slowly, and being in tune with hunger and fullness cues.
Be cautious with desserts: The Mediterranean diet suggests enjoying desserts in moderation. Opting for healthier dessert choices like fresh fruit aligns with this principle.
While these tips provide general guidance for making healthier choices when eating out, it's important to remember that the Mediterranean diet is not a rigid set of rules. It's a flexible and balanced approach to eating, focusing on whole, unprocessed foods and an overall healthy lifestyle.
