Buffets that offer “all you can eat” may sound like a Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) weight-gain nightmare. But taking a simple, new approach can actually transform a buffet into a healthy eating experience, whether it’s an enticing selection at a Chinese restaurant or an elegant Sunday brunch.
Â
The initial temptation may be load up your plate. But if you exercise a little discipline and focus on eating sensibly, a buffet can become a delightful and satisfying meal of small taste treats. It can also add a dash of welcome variety to what you’re used to eating as you lose weight.
Â
First, take a look at the buffet and decide what looks good. Buffets allow you to see the food before choosing what to eat, instead of relying on a menu. Then you can sample exactly what you want and, while employing that modicum of discipline mentioned earlier, control your portion sizes at the same time.
Â
There’s also the added psychological edge of not wanting to be viewed by your companions and other diners as being greedy.
Â
Why not choose a small salad, first, and exercise your option to go easy on the dressing? Then perhaps follow-up with a slice or two of delicious, freshly-carved lean meat like skinless chicken breast to give yourself some essential protein.
Â
Supplement your entree with an assortment of healthy vegetable side dishes, which are always on offer in a buffet and look more appealing when already prepared (by someone else!). Dips can enhance the flavor of vegetables and may make you go back for healthy second helpings.
Â
Don’t forget to save room for dessert. Fresh fruit is usually in abundance at a buffet. And don’t be afraid to help yourself to a sliver of key lime pie as a reward for being such a disciplined eater.
Â
Take the PCOS healthy approach and you’ll leave the buffet feeling both satisfied and … virtuous.
Â
A balanced, nutritious diet combined with regular exercise can boost PCOS weight loss by helping to reverse Insulin Resistance – a blood glucose and insulin imbalance which often underlies obesity.
