Dr Oz: Healthy Restaurant Meals
Dr Oz gave same great tips on how to Dress Skinny, but now we need to know what to eat to lose weight! On today’s show, Doctor Oz brought out Restaurateur, Scott Conant and Food Critic, Danyell Freeman to demonstrate how you can eat healthy foods while still eating out. Dr Oz researched and picked 5 of your favorite chain restaurants. When it came to taste, Dr Oz had Danyell and Scott check out the healthiest and tastiest dishes. The 5 restaurants included Applebee’s, Olive Garden, Ruby Tuesday, Red Lobster and Pizzaria Uno. (Dr Oz had no relations to any of these restaurants.)

Danyelle liked the roasted eggplant because it was meaty. (She loved meat on pizza and so do I!) The sundried tomatoes were also delish. Scott enjoyed the fresh taste and loved the Feta cheese and the 5-grain crust.
Have you tried any of these dishes? If so, leave me a message and let me know how you liked it.

The fat grams are my only concern in most of these restaurant meals. If you cholestoral is high this seems to be a lot of fat grams.
