Top 3 Dining-Out Tips

From Jillian Michaels

Updated Jan. 30, 2008

If you want to stick to your diet when dining out, get comfortable with asking your server to help you meet your needs. There are several ways to modify dishes when eating out. Here are my top three dining-out tactics:

Educate yourself. Don't be afraid to ask your server lots of questions about the restaurant's food so that you can make healthy choices. Ask what's used in the preparation, how large the portion is, what comes on the side — these are all things you want to know now that you are eating right.

Make substitutions. I'm always ordering chicken fajitas, but instead of the Mexican rice and refried beans, I ask for a salad on the side. Ask for grilled vegetables instead of a baked potato or french fries, sliced tomatoes instead of hash browns. You get the idea — this stuff will take a little extra thought at first, but in no time it will become second nature.

Make modifications. If you have scoured the menu and there are no healthy options, you can usually create your own by requesting a few modifications to the preparation of your food. Ask if you can have your fish grilled instead of breaded; ask if you can have Dijon mustard sauce on the chicken instead of cream sauce; request salad dressing on the side; have your omelet made with egg whites if possible; ask for the chef to use just a small amount of olive oil.

No Shame!
Don't be embarrassed or afraid to stick to your diet when eating out, even if it means bringing your own condiments along so that you are never stuck with what's available. Let go of the guilt you've been conditioned to feel if you leave food on your plate. Stop eating if you are full. And, since restaurant portions are often twice what they should be, ask the server to bring a to-go container along with your dish, so you can immediately remove half your entrée from the plate.

Acne Treatments

Quick 'n EZ Plan of Attack
By Brook Phelps
Special to eDiets

In order to understand how to prevent and treat acne, it is important to know how our skin works and why acne occurs in some people. During puberty, specific hormones (called androgens) stimulate and enlarge sebaceous glands, which produce sebum. Sebum keeps our skin healthy and naturally hydrated.

When hair follicles become blocked, sebum and bacteria are trapped underneath the surface. As a result, the area becomes reddened and inflamed, which appears as acne. This blockage is also the cause of whiteheads and blackheads.

As you can see, acne is primarily related to androgens, which is why it usually occurs at puberty, and for many women during the menstrual cycle and/or pregnancy. Although there is no cure for acne, there are a few ways to minimize or prevent breakouts and keep the skin healthy.

SKINCARE
A common misconception is that acne is caused by dirty skin. As a result, many people believe you can clear up acne if you scrub the skin with harsh, abrasive cleansers. This is simply not true and many further irritate the skin. Remember, sebum is naturally produced by our sebaceous glands, and you don’t want to rid the skin of it completely.

The best way to keep skin clean is to wash the face morning and night with a cleanser that contains glycolic acid or salicylic acid. This will remove excess sebum and slough off dead skin cells. Products containing benzoyl peroxide will have an antiseptic property and help to fight the bacteria that contributes to acne. If you are particularly oily, follow up with a toner to balance out the pH of the skin. Everyone needs to use a moisturizer, regardless of how oily you are. Sebum will help to maintain moisture in the skin, but lack of hydration will actually cause more sebum to be produced.

MAKEUP
Use makeup, particularly foundations and powders, that are non-comedogenic, which won’t clog pores. This will prevent any further inflammation. Makeup and cosmetics that are oil-free are also a good choice for acne-prone skin. When shopping for a foundation, look for one that is water based which helps the skin to breathe.

If you are experiencing a major breakout, less is more. You might be tempted to pile on the makeup, but you want the skin to heal, so avoid heavy cosmetics. Also, remember to wash your makeup brushes frequently. A great tip is to mist a light layer of alcohol after washing your brushes to prevent bacteria growth and keep your tools clean. Also, if you use a powder during the day to touch up, don’t forget to replace that powder puff.

For the occasional breakout, use an oil-free, matte finish concealer. Apply the cover-up after your foundation and set the area with loose or pressed powder. If the area is very red, you might want to try a green-based corrective concealer to neutralize the redness.

BLACKHEADS & WHITEHEADS
Blackheads are dark, flattened spots on the skin’s surface caused by a partial blockage of the follicle. Sebum and dead skin cells oxidize and cause the dark color. Pore strips work very well to clear the blockage, however they don’t prevent blackheads. Whiteheads are the same as blackheads, except the follicle is fully blocked.

Since air can not reach the pore, there is no oxidation and the color remains white. A skincare routine that includes products containing salicylic acid will help to minimize the appearance of both blackheads and whiteheads.

5 Resolutions to Win the Diet Game

Choose To Lose In 2008!

By Joanne Eglash
Get help losing weight with eDiets

Have you devoted an embarrassing percentage of your life to trying to lose weight? I certainly have done my share (all right, I'll be honest: MUCH more than my share!) of counting calories, carbohydrates and/or fat grams; reading the latest fad diet book (remember the gruesome grapefruit and hard-boiled egg regime?!), and alternating between starving and inhaling everything in the refrigerator (yes, I've even experienced the "there's nothing else to eat in the house but maple syrup and diet bread, so break open the syrup bottle!" diet blues).

If you're tired of "trying" to be a loser, how about resolving to make 2008 the year you become a winner? If that sounds good, here's my deceptively simple tip: Focus on eating right to stay energized and healthy. Here are suggestions for five New Year's nutrition resolutions that aren't as hard to keep as you may think.

Resolution 1: Eat a good breakfast! It doesn't have to be elaborate, and it doesn't have to be enormous either. Low-carb dieting makes it easy, from a hard-boiled egg and a slice of cheese when you're on the go, to a blenderized low-carb smoothie that goes down easy and tastes great. All the research reports reveal that you eat less and lose more if you start off the day on the right nutritional foot. Remove the temptation to indulge in a mid-morning doughnut break by sticking to this resolution.

Resolution 2: Eat the veggies. Regardless of which low-carb diet you're following, the majority allow some amount of measured vegetables from a select list. Many low-carb dieters, however, think they'll lose "faster" if they skip the vegetables. Oops. Big mistake. Vegetables fill you up, not out -- and they add variety to your low-carb diet. So go for the green with gusto!

Resolution 3: Take a snack pack with you when you're on the go at work, school or away from home. Whether you enjoy crunching on baked chicken legs or dipping into a low-carb carton of yogurt, make sure to take the time each morning before you leave to fix your "go-to" snack pack!

Resolution 4: Put on your chef's hat! Each week, try a new recipe that is permitted on your diet. Try your local library for hints, ask friends, do an online search or head straight to eDiets.com and look through the many recipes offered on the site.

Resolution 5: Slow down and eat more mindfully. Pay attention to your meal, and don't multi-task by reading, watching TV or paying bills in between bites. Then after you eat, celebrate with a visit to your support team at eDiets

Congratulations: you win the diet game!

Tricky Foods: The Black List

By Kathleen Aicardi, M.Ed.
eDiets Contributor

Convenience foods are fast food. They are processed foods that are often used for a quick meal at home or on the go. Many of these foods contain high amounts of trans fat, so be careful.

Trans fat, also known as partially hydrogenated vegetable oil, is commonly found in convenience food. It is manufactured by adding hydrogen to vegetable oil. Hydrogenated vegetable oil is the cooking oil used to fry foods. Hydrogenated oil costs less and has a longer shelf life.

Trans fat, like saturated fat and cholesterol, raises the LDL (bad) cholesterol that increases your risk for heart disease. Trans fat lowers the HDL (good) cholesterol that helps to decrease your risk for heart disease. It’s been estimated trans fat prematurely kills 30,000 to 75,000 Americans a year.

Looking for a fresh and easy way to diet? Try eDiets DeliciouslyYours! Tantalizing food, mouth-watering menus, effortless weight loss -- it's success, delivered right to your door!

The American Heart Association guidelines advise people to limit trans fat to 1 percent of their daily calories. This equates to about 2 grams for a 2,000-calorie-a-day diet. According to the Food and Drug Administration, Americans typically eat about 5.8 grams of trans fats per day, nearly three times the recommended guideline. That's 4.7 pounds of trans fat per year!

As you will see from the Trans Fat Black List, many of our everyday convenience foods contain trans fats. Remember to read the ingredient listing of these foods -- even if the label reads, "zero trans fat" or "no trans fat." Technically food manufacturers can claim there is no trans fat in a product if the amount per serving is less than 0.5 grams. These relatively small amounts of trans fats can add up in the body.

Remember, creating a healthy lifestyle is all about balance and moderation.

Holiday Snacks

By John Riddle
eDiets Contributor

The holidays are here, and in addition to decorating, shopping, singing carols and gift buying, people will be eating cookies, cakes, candy and other sugary snacks. The holidays mean many things to different people, but one common factor that binds people together is the way appetites seem to increase during this time of the year.

The time between now through January means one challenge after another for people trying to eat healthy, but there are steps everyone can take to avoid unwanted pounds.

"This issue comes up every year," said Cindy Stenavich, a registered dietitian with Marshfield Clinic's Nutrition Services in Marshfield, Wisc. "For many people, the holiday season turns into one big eating event and they can't seem to stop. They say, 'oh well. It's the holidays.'"

By the end of January, people may find themselves unhappily weighing a few more pounds. It's easier to gain weight than many people imagine. Five pounds is the equivalent of 17,500 extra calories, or about 290 calories a day. What can that mean in food consumed each day?

Two Christmas cookies

Two ounces of chocolate

Less than a cup of eggnog

If you are not careful, you will find yourself gaining those extra pounds without even realizing what has happened. But there are some things you can do to still enjoy the holidays without gorging yourself on the wrong foods.

What can you do to avoid weight gain during this time and help keep your cholesterol and blood pressure in line? The best tip is be selective in the parties you attend and what you eat once you're there.

"You want to decide which events are essential. You have some you must attend and some that are not essential," Stenavich said. Once you choose to go to a party, Stenavich has a number of suggested strategies. First, if there is going to be a big buffet meal, plan to arrive a little later either to miss the dinner or have less time to graze.

"If your holiday is not complete without a special item, make sure you have it. We don't want you to go through the season feeling deprived or sad," she said. "When you go to an event, scope it out to make sure you select the high-calorie foods that are really most important to you."

What else can you do? Put a greater emphasis on the people in your life during the holidays. Socialize away from the buffet table. Just being within hand length of the goodies makes it harder to resist temptation.

Have your treats, but fill up on fruits and vegetables at the buffet. Also, if you have the opportunity to bring a dish to share, choose something light. You'll be surprised how many people will appreciate it.

Families should also plan for healthy eating at home during the holidays. With all of the hustle and bustle of the season, it is very easy to start eating and snacking on the wrong foods. Here are a few healthy holiday snacks for your family to enjoy this season:

Fruit salad

Low-fat string cheese

Low-fat yogurt

Homemade fruit and bran muffins

Air-popped popcorn

Low-fat tortilla chips

Peanut butter spread on apple slices or whole grain crackers

Low-fat, low-sugar granola bars

Trail mix -- make your own, and include raisins, dried cranberries, unsalted peanuts, chocolate chips, crunchy wheat cereal or low-fat granola, and sunflower seeds

Enjoy the holidays and all of the festivities, but do not neglect your basic nutritional needs during this busy time. Make eating well the best present you give to yourself and others!

5 Holiday Weight Gain Myths

Many of us have a hard time with holidays and overeating. Some people throw up their hands and give in to temptation; others rationalize the holidays as a time in which they are destined to put on pounds. Don't fall for these myths...

Explains Susan Burke MS, RD, LD/N, CDE
eDiets Contributor

Every year about this time, I hear the same holiday songs. I hear people"sing" the old refrain of overindulgence -- "I have to have it." Whether it's for Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanza or other seasonal celebrations, people have a hard time with holidays and overeating. Some throw up their hands and give in to temptation; others rationalize the holidays as a time in which they are destined to put on pounds.

We've got more great ways for you to eat healthy and lose weight. To get started, click here and fill out a free diet profile.

1. Everyone gains at least 5 pounds over the holidays, so I may as well accept it.
Well, the good news is that the average American gains from 1/2 pound to 1 pound between Thanksgiving and New Year's, but the bad news is they don't ever lose it. It's not as dramatic as 7 to 10 pounds that was formerly thought to be the norm, but even if you gain just 1 pound over the holidays, you may also gain another pound over the winter, and maybe one more during the summer holidays. Pretty soon you're on the next pants size and a new wardrobe.

2. I can take a"vacation" from my diet, because come January, I'll go right back on it.
Don't do it, because you may never come back! I went to a Thanksgiving dinner this year, and saw someone I'd not seen in a year. I congratulated her on her significant weight loss over the previous year, and when she told me she was"taking a vacation" from her diet for the holidays, I cringed. I told her that you can't"vacation" from your healthy diet and expect to stay at your goal weight. Extra calories are just what your fat cells are looking for. Unless you've built up a good amount of lean muscle mass by exercising with resistance bands or light weights, you're going to regain the weight as quick as you can say"I'll have seconds of pumpkin pie."

3. I'm going to fast all day, so I can eat all I want at the Holiday party this year.
Wrong. Don't do it. Don't put your body in"starvation mode." Starving yourself usually backfires, and you wind up overeating at the party. The best strategy for weight control is to eat lower calorie, higher fiber foods such as crunchy vegetables like broccoli, carrots and cauliflower. Eat smaller meals more frequently, and when you get to the party, continue to think"small." Have a small portion of everything, and that way you're satisfied but not stuffed.

By the way, there are other interesting veggie combinations, such as green beans, onions and mushrooms; Brussels sprouts; broccoli cuts; they come in convenient plastic bags. I just throw them into a Pyrex bowl, cover and microwave on high for about 5.5 minutes. Let the vegetables sit for another 3 to 4 minutes; sprinkle with Butter Buds or other dehydrated butter product for a satisfying snack with only about 25 calories per cup, cooked.

4. I can't diet when I go to someone's house for dinner.
Give yourself the power to say no tactfully. Many people feel that if they don't partake in the holiday feasting tradition, others will perceive them as rude or ungrateful. Well, don't fall into that trap. You have the right to eat what you want, where you want, and in the amount that you want.

Say "no" in creative ways, and don't feel deprived. You can say to your host, "oh, I'm sorry, my plan doesn't include (name the food), but I surely thank you!" Or "Oh, thank you so much, I'm sure it's wonderful! I'm too full right now, but thanks for asking." Your host cannot insist, and if they do, you have the power to insist that you're grateful, but be firm.

5. My family would miss it if I didn't make the traditional favorites.
Make this a healthy holiday season and change your traditional fatty favorites into delicious, healthy meals. Santa is roly-poly for a reason. Christmas recipes are like stocking stuffers; each dish makes that sock bulge bigger. It doesn't have to be so. "Living large" is not my New Year's resolution, living lean is. Don't be a Scrooge with taste, but be frugal with calories -- that's how you eat delicious foods without guilt.

Review your recipe file and look at recipes with a fresh eye. Often you'll find high fat and high-calorie items that you can reduce, or eliminate. Reduce the amount of nuts in cookies; replace with dried cranberries or raisins: most recipes can be modified successfully.

Top Tips for making your holiday recipes healthy ones.

Low-fat cooking techniques should be used. Bake, broil, grill, poach and saute foods in a very little bit of fat in a non-stick pan.

Use nonstick pans for baking, grilling, for breads and cookies, for sauteing and even for soup. Nonstick is one of life's little pleasures -- you need to just lightly spray with cooking oil.

Reduce the fat in the recipes. One of the simplest methods of making all your recipes healthier is reducing the amount of fat in a recipe. If the recipe calls for 1/2 cup of oil, use 1/4 cup, plus 1/4-cup fruit puree or unsweetened applesauce. This is good for any quick bread, cookie or cake. Yeast breads and piecrusts need a precise balance of ingredients, but experiment to see if you get acceptable results.

Don't add fat to your food,especially unhealthy, saturated fats. Most stores carry margarines without trans fat if you want to put a spread on the table. Instead of basting the turkey with butter, try flavorful vegetable broth, white wine or orange juice (my personal favorite).

Buy low-fat and nonfat varieties of milk, sour cream, yogurt and cheese. You'll lower the fat and calories effortlessly. I use low-fat buttermilk in baking -- substitute for milk in any recipe.

Substitute 3 tablespoons of cocoa plus 1 tablespoon of canola oil for 1 ounce of baking chocolate, and lower the saturated fat.

Two egg whites can substitute one whole egg, depending on the size. All the fat, cholesterol and most of the calories from eggs are in the yolk.

Substitute crunchy cereal for bread crumbs. I like to use crushed corn flakes or nuggets like Grape Nuts.

Cut servings smaller! Make that cake serve 12 instead of eight.

Buy the leanest cuts of meat, and substitute 1/3 ground turkey breast. Don't buy ground turkey because it also contains skin and dark meat, making it just as caloric as ground meat or more.

Don't forget; the holidays are not an excuse for"cheating" on your meal plan. Going out or staying in, you get to choose what you will eat, how much you'll eat, and when you will eat. Don't skip meals, keep exercising (in fact, make it your business to get the whole crowd out for a walk after your big meal), and remember that there are no"good" or "bad" foods. Think of food as fuel; it may be good for your engine, or it may clog the fuel line. Foods may be fatty and full of sugar, but that's often what makes them taste so good.

If you want some dessert, either share with our tablemates or opt for a small piece. Balance with an otherwise healthy meal, and stay active.

You can lose weight and improve your health, but you may have to adopt a healthy lifestyle to accomplish those goals. eDiets now offers Mayo Clinic Plan, developed by the doctors at the Mayo Clinic. Start today.

20 Fast Beauty Tips

Beauty fades, but only when you let it
By Brook Phelps

eDiets Contributor

Keeping a fresh, polished look may require some upkeep. However, with minimal effort you can improve yourself from head to toe -- and every little bit counts. After all, the sum is the whole of its parts.

They say you are what you eat... So if you want to look delicious, you should eat delicious food! Introducing eDiets DeliciouslyYours meal delivery plan -- voted #1 by epicurious.com! -- now available in a convenient 5-day "Weekends Off" plan!

Even when time isn't on your side, there are simple ways to optimize your appearance without spending a fortune on costly cosmetics and beauty products. Better nails, healthy hair, smoother skin and a flawless face can be yours with the help of these 20 quick beauty fixes.

1. If you're in a hurry, a little concealer is all you really need to look rejuvenated and awake. Just dab a little under the eyes and on any blemishes, and you're good to go.

2. Pedicures and manicures always look fresher and last longer if you choose a nail polish color in a neutral color, like light pink, nude or beige. If the polish chips, the result is less noticeable than if you were wearing a bright hue, like red.

3. To get rid of dry, flaky lips, gently scrub them with a soft, wet toothbrush (preferably one you don't use to brush your teeth). Dab a little Vaseline or your favorite lip balm onto the toothbrush to give your lips a mini-exfoliation.

4. Cucumbers aren't just great in salads. Put thinly sliced cucumbers put over the eyes to reduce puffiness. Just make sure to refrigerate the slices for 15 minutes before applying. If you don't have cucumbers, moistened, refrigerated tea bags also work well.

5. Got a case of the oilies but don't have time to wash your hair? Sprinkle a little baby powder onto your hairbrush or directly on your hair. The powder will help to absorb excess oil. Be careful not to overdo it, or you'll make your hair appear gray.

6. Drier lipsticks last longer than those that contain more emollients or oil. As a general rule, matte finishes will have more staying power. If you don't like retouching your lipstick frequently throughout the day, skip the gloss.

7. For super-smooth legs, wait to shave until the end of your shower. The hot water will help to soften the hairs, making them easier to remove.

8. If mascara frequently clumps and globs on your lashes, try wiping your mascara wand off with a tissue to remove excess product. What is left on the wand is enough to coat your lashes without the mess.

9. If you are prone to "poofy" hair, try rinsing your hair with cool or cold water next time you shampoo. This helps the cuticle to lie flat, making the hair appear smoother.

10. If you don't have room in your purse to carry a makeup bag, you can get away with one lipstick for your whole face. Pick a neutral color that can do double duty as a lip and cheek color. Dab a few dots on the cheeks and blend with your fingers for instant color.

11. Powder bronzer is also a great multipurpose product that doesn't take up too much space. Carry a small blush brush to add color to the cheeks and eyes. Also, try patting a little bit on top of clear lip gloss or lip balm for a different lip color.

12. Get unruly brows into shape using a little hair gel. Groomed brows instantly open and frame the eye and makes eye makeup look a lot more polished.

13. If you don't have time to mess around with multiple eye shadow colors, a single, neutral shade works wonders. Pick one that has a slight sheen (not glittery) in the bone or beige color family and apply the color to the entire lid. A matte, textured eye shadow can look too chalky.

14. Next time you're making a purchase at the beauty counter, ask for samples or trial sizes. It a great way to try out something new, and they are handy for traveling.

15. Instead of carrying a purse-sized spray of your favorite perfume, try layering products, like body wash, powder and lotion (all of the same fragrance, of course) to make your fragrance last through the evening.

16. Banish a bad hair day by creating a side part and combing hair into a smooth, low ponytail. Secure with a hair band the same color as your hair and spray with a light hold hairspray. Remember, there's nothing more chic than simple and classic.

17. Make your teeth look whiter without a trip to the dentist by choosing a lip color with a blue undertone. Cool reds, berries, burgundies and wines will help make your smile look brighter.

18. If you're long overdue for a haircut but don't have time to visit your stylist, try an at-home deep conditioning treatment to add moisture and shine. Use it once or twice a week to keep your hair protected until you can get your ends trimmed.

19. Try wearing white or a light-colored eyeliner on the bottom inner rim of your eyes, paired with a navy or very dark blue liner on the lash line. The contrast of the colors will make eyes appear bigger and brighter.

20. To smooth and soften rough elbows and knees, use a gentle body scrub in the shower and follow up with a rich moisturizer containing alpha hydroxy acid. You can also do the same for your feet and give yourself a mini foot treatment.
