HOPE WARSHAW – AUTHOR, EAT OUT EAT WELL

The average American eats five restaurant meals a week. That’s 260 restaurant meals a year! With the skills and strategies and tricks and tactics shared in EAT OUT, EAT WELL, you can make every restaurant meal you eat, from fast food to ethnic fare to fine dining, into a healthy option that fits into your diabetes eating plan.

Nationally recognized expert in diabetes management Hope Warshaw, MMSc, RD, CDE has teamed up with the American Diabetes Association to create EAT OUT, EAT WELL , your go-to and how-to resource for assembling healthy and satisfying options in just about any type of restaurant.

Healthy restaurant eating is about slowly changing your eating and ordering habits. Hope offers you step-by-step guidance. She begins the book by covering the basics of diabetes eating today and then delves into healthy restaurant eating with diabetes. She offers practical advice to deal with common diabetes dining dilemmas—including delayed meals, drinking alcohol, and fitting in sweets and desserts. Inside you’ll find:
Pitfalls of restaurant eating
Skills and strategies for healthier restaurant eating
The how-tos to eat gluten-free restaurant meals
Tips and tactics to help children eat healthy
Healthier meal samplers for all restaurant types
Nutrition snapshots of the health busters and healthier bets menu options for all restaurant types

Section two of the book covers American fare including breakfast/brunch, fast food, sandwiches, salads and upscale dining. The chapters in section three are devoted to ethnic fare, including Mexican, Italian, and several Asian cuisines. Pizza gets its own chapter. To ensure you always have up-to-date nutrition information for restaurant foods at your fingertips, the book has a companion app, Eat Out Well—Restaurant Nutrition Finder from the American Diabetes Association. You’ll be able to search the nutrition information for hundreds of independent and chain restaurants based on your current location. Plus the app will allow you to save your favorite dishes.

Whether you’re eating in a restaurant or ordering takeout, the strategies and practical advice found in EAT OUT, EAT WELL and the nutrition information in the companion app will turn restaurant eating from intimidating to doable.
