MIX & MATCH RESTAURANT GUIDE

You'll be surprised that you can enjoy all of the cuisines you love and still be able to lose
weight with the 2B Mindset. Below are a few tips to keep in mind when eating from a
restaurant, along with suggestions for different cuisines and a space for you to jot down your
own favorites.
✔ Always start with water first & veggies most
✔ Keep the Plate It! method in mind
✔ Be a menu food investigator and order something that is easy to track later
✔ Look for “skinny” and “light” sections on menus for many great Plate It! options
✔ Make the person you’re ordering from (or the comment section in an online order)
your buddy, ask questions and make requests so you can stick to veggies most, ask
for accessories on the side so you can make the meal what you want it 2B
