Does this sound like you? You're trying to lose weight, but food choices get hard sometimes. Why? Because you need to eat out a lot, so you can't always control exactly what you can choose to eat, as you might if you cook most of your meals at home. It's a rather unfortunate scenario for anybody trying to lose weight, but there is a way to get around what can too often be a calorie-laden lifestyle.
If you have to eat out a lot, it's tough. It's very, very easy to have "just a little" of something you know is forbidden, even though you shouldn't, which can keep you from reaching your goals. But as the best personal trainer in DC will tell you, there are places you can go and get good quality food that won't break the bank -- or expand your waistline, either. Let's take a look at a few restaurants in the DC area that have fresh, healthy food at reasonable prices.
Hanami (www.hanamijapanese.com)
Hanami is an ideal place for you, if you are crazy about sushi. This restaurant offers a wide variety of fish that is fresh and the best in terms of quality. If you are particular about starch free items, then you have quite a few items to choose from that help you avoid starch. Other mouthwatering delicacies like tuna and salmon sashimi or dragon ball is also available along with veggies, crab, roe and sauce wrapped in a slice of avocado.
Outback Steakhouse (www.outback.com)
Outback Steakhouse is famous for its deep fried onion treat also known as "bloomin' onion". This delicacy is the first thing that would strike your mind when you hear of this restaurant. Bloomin onion is certainly to be avoided by all those cautious about their growing waistline. Nevertheless, this land of mouth watering delicacies has some perfect choices, such as the seared ahi tuna appetizer, for those looking for a low-carb meal.
Logan Tavern (www.logantavern.com)
You might think the best personal trainer in DC wouldn't be caught in a tavern, but you'd be wrong. Right across the street from Whole Foods on 14th and P, you can substitute vegetables for any of their starchy side dishes. The crab cakes, too, are a diet and taste bud friendly choice.
The Heights (www.theheightsdc.com)
"Mustard crusted tuna" may not sound very appetizing, but it is the perfect choice of any dieter looking for high nutrition and low calorie. Other dieter friendly dishes are also available. But be warned - the dishes are served with pasta or potatoes as a side dish unless you specifically ask for them to be replaced with veggies.
Grillfish (www.grillfishdc.com)
As long as you stay away from starch, all the items on this menu can be consumed, which is what makes Grillfish the perfect choice. It is best to avoid pasta and ask for vegetable side dishes instead of potatoes.
One last thing you need to follow even if you are used to to eating outside, is to plan your meals in advance. Ensure that you include certain kinds of food in your menu like fish and steamed vegetables and also avoid items like deserts to help you stay fit. - 30414
