Dating can wreak havoc with your diet. After all, drinks, meals out, cinema trips with popcorn. Not to mention the chocolate, ice-cream and more wine when your date doesn\u2019t call you back!<\/p>\n

But if you\u2019re determined not to be pushed off your New Years health kick then we have some great tips for you to be able to date whilst you\u2019re dieting\u2026<\/p>\n

Drink smarter\u2026<\/b><\/p>\n

Meeting up for a couple of drinks after work? Well, a two glasses of wine or a cocktail or two will use your calorie allowance in no time at all – not to mention bringing on that post drinks hunger. Think about sticking to clear spirits or even arranging to meet at a tea or coffee shop instead.<\/p>\n

Eat Out\u2026<\/b><\/p>\n

When you\u2019re dating, eating out is all part of the fun. If you know that you\u2019re going to be eating out in the evening then make sure you chose lighter, lower calorie meals throughout the day. If you know where you\u2019re going you could always browse the menu ahead of time and pre-pick a sensible option. Just make sure that you aren\u2019t too neurotic about what you eat when you\u2019re with your date, you don\u2019t want to put him off by being a picky eater.<\/p>\n

Eat In\u2026<\/b><\/p>\n

If you man likes to EAT then why not play hostess and invite him around for a home cooked meal. You can control the menu and show that you\u2019re pretty good around the kitchen. Make sure that you feel comfortable and you\u2019ve got to know your date before inviting him in to your home though. Remember – safety first.<\/p>\n

Get outside\u2026<\/b><\/p>\n

You don\u2019t just have to eat and drink. A romantic walk around the park or playing tourist in your nearest city will burn those calories and help you get to know your date better.<\/p>\n
