Go for the Grill. I avoided the cooked dishes and went for the raw stuff that we had to grill ourselves on the table. For one thing, the grilled choices has less MSG. Also, grilling food is healthier in terms of cholesterol level.
Protein Load. I selected meats and seafood for their protein content; I avoided all the carbs: the rice and the noodles. Well, I had some rice, but only because I couldn't resist the sushi bar. Speaking of: another GREAT source of protein is the sushi bar! I think I must have eaten half a salmon raw that night. It's like feasting on someone's open wounds, but yeah, the protein is amazing.
Pace Yourself. Like in running, you need to pace yourself at the buffet table. It takes the brain 20 minutes to recognize that you are full. This means that you can eat-MORE-than-you-actually-can within a window of 20 minutes, and after that, your brain sends signals to your digestive system to stop the traffic. If you pace yourself at the table, you avoid the risk of overeating.
Water's best. Do not get soda or juice. This should be a general rule every meal time. Sodas are poison. They're basically liquified sugar melted in acid. Think of that the next time you put a glassful inside your body. You're filling up on liquified sugar melted in acid, which your body will absorb and mix in with your blood.
Well, those are some of my strategies in attacking the buffet table when you're on a fitness program. If you want to share yours, leave them in the comments section.
