I know that I should avoid deep fried foods, food in cream sauce, red meat, breads, fatty dressing, ect.. But do you have any other tips? Are there any other certain kinds of foods/sauces that I should avoid?
Avoid "Cream of anything" Soups, go for clear instead.
Go for a light salad for entree, don’t do pasta, or do without an entree at all.
Ask for entree sized mains.
Do without sauces or gravies, or dips.
Avoid added sides - breads, crutons, butter.
Steer clear of butter, creams, cheeses and fatty dishes.
If having pasta, go for a vegetable sauce, instead of creamy or meaty sauces.
Go for fresh vegies/salad rather than chips as a side.
Go for grilled meats, rather than fried, crumbed, or in sauces.
Go with fruits for deserts, rather than cakes, or puddings.
Keep the number of courses to a minimum. Ask for small sized servings. Share a course.

Only eat half of your food because when you eat out they usually serve enough for two on one plate. Save the rest for lunch the next day.

Ask the waiter to take away the rolls. Ask for your food without butter or oil or mayo! Get Vinegar on the salad instead of dressing. Ask for a box with your food and pack half before you dig in. Drink water or unsweet tea. Marinara sauce can have a lot of oil added. Steamed veggies often come laden with butter, just say no! The portions are the main killer! Ask for a half order or child size.

order a salad with dressing on the side. Dip the lettuce into dressing, don’t pour the dressing onto the salad.
They say cesar dressing is the most fatting.
Applebee’s has a weightwatchers menu.

Eat only salad and fresh veggies. Take your own salad dressing.

These are all good tips. My favorite though is getting the dressing on the side (whatever kind you like), and dip your fork in the dressing and then the salad. You’ll be surprised at how much dressing is leftover at the end of the salad. I can’t stand drowning salads anymore by using this method.
