🍽️ What to Do When Dining Out with Family While on the Total Plan

Dining out with family can be a special and enjoyable experience, even while following the Total Food Replacement (TFR) Plan. While the Total Plan is designed to be followed without conventional food, we understand that social occasions may arise.

If you are planning a conventional meal, it is important to make mindful choices that support your goals. Here are some simple tips to help you enjoy your time out without compromising your progress.

✅ Prioritise Green Vegetables and Lean Proteins

Choose meals that include:

• Green vegetables such as broccoli, spinach, or courgettes
• Lean protein sources like white fish, lean mince, or lean beef

These options are lower in calories while providing essential nutrients, helping you feel satisfied and stay on track with your plan.

❌ Avoid Sauces

Many sauces contain hidden sugars and fats that can significantly increase the calorie content of your meal.

Instead, opt for:

• Grilled or steamed dishes
• Natural herbs and spices to add flavour
• No added dressings unless you can see the ingredients

This helps you stay in control of your choices and avoid unnecessary extras.

🔄 Consider the Switch Plan

If you expect to dine out more frequently or want more flexibility, you may wish to explore our Switch Plan.

This plan allows you to:

• Combine conventional foods with New You products
• Make room for meals out while still following a structured programme
• Maintain steady weight loss with added freedom

👉 Check out the Switch section in the Help Centre for full details on how to follow this flexible approach.

🎯 Set a Goal for Dining Out

Challenge yourself to make the healthiest choice available when eating out. This could be:

• Choosing grilled over fried options
• Asking for sauces on the side
• Saying no to the bread basket

Small commitments like these can make a big difference over time and help build habits that last beyond your plan.

💡 Final Tip

If you know you’ll be eating out, plan ahead. Check the menu in advance, decide what you’ll order, and go in feeling confident and in control.
