Eating out at lunchtime can mean you end up spending the afternoon feeling bloated, uncomfortable and sleepy so make it your mission to choose from the menu carefully. Skip the bread and butter to start while you're looking at the menu and order sparkling water rather than wine. Don't feel pressured into ordering a starter either, even if everyone else is. Alternatively, simply choose a side salad, it's a great way to boost fibre, vitamins and antioxidants. For main courses, skip rich, creamy and cheesy sauces. Great choices include grilled meat, poultry and fish with new potatoes and veg or salad. For dessert, you can't go wrong with fresh fruit salad or lemon sorbet. Then finish with a peppermint tea.
