Ivette is Puerto Rican, and, as you know, I\u2019m Persian-American. We bonded over our cultures, and we both love speaking about them. So today, let\u2019s chat about embracing different cultures through food and how to choose healthy options at new restaurants. Look Ahead: Look at the menu ahead of time to make sure there are options you can eat. Portion Sizes: Know that the portions in the United States are completely exaggerated and unrealistic compared to other cultures. Avoid Fried Food: Try to avoid fried foods. Eat Before You Go: When I eat a small snack before we go, I\u2019m more realistic about what I\u2019m hungry for. It\u2019s fantastic to go to new restaurants and try the foods of different cultures. I highly encourage it! When you go out, you can still stick to your health goals.
