This Valentine’s Day, impress those you love with a big heart, not a big gut. It’s a pretty well known fact that a great number of restaurant chefs regularly serve oversized meal portions to their diners. You can avoid over-indulging on this romantic holiday using these tips:

Ask for half portions (or ask for half to go) especially when ordering pasta dishes.

When dining with a group of friends, order and divide a limited number of entrees or appetizers and use the bread plates to eat from.

Order your wine with your meal, as opposed to before. This way you can avoid getting tipsy and eating too fast or too much when the food arrives.

Go ahead and order that piece of chocolate cake but be sure to ask for two forks to share it with your sweetie.
