10 techniques for eating at a buffet without feeling guilty while controlling your weight

1. Don't starve before going to the buffet.

Many people may skip meals all day when they know they are going to eat a heavy meal. In fact, fasting can make you crave and eat even more. Before heading to the buffet, we recommend eating vegetables and lean protein. Cooked by boiling, steaming, grilling, using few seasonings to  reduce sodium and oil content. It can be divided into small meals. In an amount that is enough to be full




2.Survey the food line and list the dishes that have passed the final round.

When you get to a restaurant, take a walk around to get an idea of ​​what dishes are interesting and worth eating so that you can try as much as you want without forcing yourself to fill up the dish for later. Anything that isn't interesting can be brushed aside.

3.Principle: 1-2 tablespoons

If after examining the food line you feel that almost everything looks delicious, Try it all Use the principle of 1-2 tablespoons when tasting. This method will give you a taste of how much you want and will also reduce the amount of food waste.

4. Enjoy the deliciousness slowly.

 If it's a timed buffet, Many people may eat in a hurry to make time, but as we said above, if we had walked around and surveyed which dishes made it into the final round, Which dish was dropped? Don't worry about not being able to collect everything. Eat slowly, chewing food thoroughly. In addition to enjoying the delicious taste in front of you, it will also help your stomach not have to work too hard.

5.Water is best.

Whether you're on a diet or not, water is always the best choice with its countless health benefits. Moreover, most food lines usually have sugar as an ingredient. For those who plan to eat dessert at the end, we recommend that you keep your quota.

6.Reduce the amount of sauce and dipping sauce.

Food beautifully arranged in a hot pot always looks attractive with its juicy sauce. These are the things that cause you to wake up the next day with a swollen face and stomach, mostly because of sauces or dipping sauces. It is often seasoned with MSG, salt, sugar, and sometimes oil as well. It is recommended that you scoop just the right amount and taste enough to know the flavor.

7.Salad isn't always healthy.

Vegetables are good for your health, but the amount of salad dressing is the biggest contributor to the calories in your dish. Recommended to serve with green leafy vegetables or mixed with colorful vegetables. Then limit yourself to just 1 tablespoon of salad dressing. It's best to avoid creamy salad dressings and use clear ones instead. Balsamic vinaigrette is also a good choice.

8.Be careful of the amount of oil.

Fried food, stir-fried food, everything can be eaten, but just in the right amount. It is recommended to scoop only dry food or if it is fried food, it is recommended to blot the oil first. It may sound like a complicated method, but once you flip the blotting tissue over, you'll feel like you did the right thing.

9.Sharing a dessert plate

Of course, one of the most memorable things about a buffet is dessert. We recommend scooping several servings into one small plate and sharing them with friends to avoid the high sugar content.

10.Adjust your mind set that it's just another meal.

Despite the slogan All You Can Eat, if you adjust your mindset that a buffet is just another meal, it doesn't have to be worth the money you pay. You will be able to eat at the buffet often without feeling guilty anymore.
