10. Practice Moderation.  For me, the key to living a healthy lifestyle and staying fit while eating out comes down to moderation. I know this word may seem a bit overused, but just hear me out. I often have clients tell me that they are “all or noth- ing” and they could never just stop at two bites, but I’m not buying it. I believe you can train yourself to practice moderation. It may be difficult at first, but you can teach yourself to stop when you may want to mindlessly keep going. When we master moderation, we can enjoy a night out on occasion, we can have a few bites of dessert, we exercise a healthy amount, we have the desire to move more, and we don’t have to feel guilty or shameful after a little indulgence. At the end of the day, food shouldn’t be feared, it should be enjoyed. It is fuel for our body to do all of the amazing things it’s capable of doing! The more we embrace this per- spective, the easier it is to adapt to a life of healthy modera- tion.
