Buffet-style restaurants can be a detriment to anyone trying to watch their weight while dining out. (MS) - With each passing year comes the hope of meeting an entirely new set of New Year's resolutions. One resolu tion, however, that seems to make the list every year is shedding extra weight. That's due in part to the holiday season, which seems to be as synonymous with putting on weight as it is with putting up holiday lights. However, as much as some may like to blame the holidays for the added pounds, it's also a result of people's love of dining out. A 2006 Zagat's survey showed that Americans average eat ing 3.2 meals out per week. Dining out makes it more difficult to regulate and stick to one's diet, which can result in weight gain. So what are lovers of the dining circuit to do? It's not necessary to abandon din ners outside the home. However, it is wise to consider the following tips, par ticularly if you're one of the many who has resolved to lose weight this year. • Order from the appetizers menu. It's no secret portions are expanding along with the waistlines of many people. These days, entrees are often more than one person can (or at least should) eat.

In fact, many stay up to wait for the clock to strike midnight to be the first to utter the phrase. But according to ancient Babylonian tradition, the new year wasn't always celebrated in the middle of winter. It was, rather, celebrated when the first visible new moon crescent was present after the vernal equinox - •* at the start of spring. The new year may have been wisely “? celebrated then because spring is the season most asso-dated with the rebirth of life. Through years, the calendar became out of T —Y sync with the sun through the result of tamper- mg bv Roman emperors. Eventually it was ■ sorted out and the Julian calendar, under the authority of Julius designated that January 1 was the official start of the new calendar year, and has been ever since. Other New Year's traditions include a symbolic baby image, which some believe also signals rebirth, and the making of resolutions for thevear to come. [421611 fried foods. Fried foods can be a dieter's worst enemy. Though they taste and often smell good, they're rarely healthy. Fried chicken, for instance, is not some thing dieters should consider eating. However, chicken is a great food for the weight conscious. Simply ask for your chicken to be steamed, grilled, baked, broiled; just about anything but fried. • Avoid buffets. Particularly when traveling around the holidays, roadside buffets can seem like the ideal choice, satisfying your hunger before you climb back into the car and finish your trip. However, these buffets are death to a diet, as too many options can lead to overeating. If you must do buffet, seek out the healthiest options, such as veg etables, broiled meat and poultry, and salad. Skip the heavy gravies. • Eat smaller meals, more times per day. Many competitive bodybuilders refer to this approach as "grazing," wherein diet ers substitute three meals per day with several smaller ones. This helps keep bodybuilders energized throughout the day and can with dieters as well. Also, by eating smaller meals, your stomach will slowly begin to get smaller, which is a good thing for dieters, as they'll begin - ao need less and less food to feel [ I satisfied. NEW YEAR'S 2007
