Mexican Restaurant Healthy eating tips

when ordering in a Mexican restaurant, think of the delicious fresh flavors that do not need cheese or sour cream or excessive guacamole. Mexican food, properly seasoned and fresh, should taste every bit as good with NO CHEESE! That's right, try it. Cheese tends to be bland, and for the points you'll save you'll be able to avoid a points catastrophe. Also for sure skip the sour cream, unless you are trying to gain weight. I know it is a personal decision, but I avoid almost all liquid calories so i can eat more and avoid hunger. (Except i do indulge in a stomach coating smoothie or protein shake occasionally as a way to prevent overeating at the next meal. and it worked very week for me today. ) Grilled shrimp and fish are good choices. Try to avoid anything that is served already assembled or mixed. Fajitas are a good choice because you can pile them high with veggies. Other tips:

1. count your tortilla chips! (12 is 3 pts)
2. Use salsa instead of sour cream. cheese or excessive guac. Do have a 1/2 cup of guac to stretch out your veggies.
3. bring measuring cups.
4. order an extra salad, just make sure to say no cheese because they tend to throw it on everything
5. wear tight fitting jeans.
