You know the principle of a la carte restaurant: you sit at a table, we consult the menu and it is serving. No need to cook, no need to make yourself going back and forth from the kitchen to the table to satisfy the guests.
No, we still just sitting at a table with the only concern to discuss with family. It relaxes. For a parent, relax at the table is a nice luxury. Can a nutritionist who usually encourages people to cook can really be against?
If it is casual; not me anyway.
Still be considered that "casual" means and, to this end, I encourage you to consult a nutritionist in order to assess whether your attendance at the restaurant and the choices you are doing can have long-term, risk for your health and that of your family. You will also get examples of plates types that can meet the needs of your family members. What's better than having the correct time and to enjoy all the nuances?
Now, for the good of this column, I'll share five basic concepts to put into practice during an outing at a restaurant in the map:
1. Do not limit yourself to large chains.
The majority of restaurants in the map adapts to the needs of families. Choose a restaurant that you really tries and drop a call to the staff before you get there. They can confirm that they will be able to welcome your family and prepare most likely there.
2. Equip yourself to maximize the patience of your children rather than having yourself to be patient to hold them in place.
3. If possible, arrive at the restaurant a little earlier than the usual meal time. This way, they will be more willing to wait to be served and it will be easier to encourage them to incorporate healthy foods to the menu;
4. When the server will offer you an entry or a drink, order immediately raw vegetables, vegetable juice or a glass of milk, and;
5. Make sure you have with you some toys or objects that will occupy your children waiting for the main course.
6. Feel free to leave the children's menu. Order entry as a main course or share a regular plate.
7. Emphasize foods from cooked meals least processed possible.
8. Share what you would find in your plates restaurateurs. If comments converge in the same direction, most likely they will fit the demands of the customers.
