However, for some, the 14^th of February means a candlelight dinner in their favourite restaurant or a romantic dinner at home. These romantic meals can be tricky for anyone watching their waistline when faced with menus of delicious offerings. Thankfully Unislim are always at hand to give out their top tips.  There are lots of simple ways to enjoy your dining experience and stay on track.

• Plan the menu ahead with your other half if you are staying in, click here for some great recipe ideas. If you’re heading out, have a sneak peek at the menu online. It will save you from panic ordering and being tempted by the restaurant’s aromas. This will help you make an informed decision so you can use your bites wisely.

• Spice up your menu by using foods like Chilli which stimulates our nerve endings and raises our pulse or Ginger which improves circulation and has an aphrodisiac effect!

• Opt for heart-healthy food like leafy greens, berries, whole grains, and even a little dark chocolate as a treat.

• If drinking white wine, ask for some soda or sparkling water to make a spritzer

• Don’t skip meals earlier in the day in anticipation of your meal out.

• Always ask for a large jug of water to be placed on the table.

• Choose salad rather than fries and avoid sides like onion rings

• Downsize rather than supersize

• Choose ketchup or mustard rather than mayo and opt for fat-free dressing on your salad

• If you can’t resist fries or a dessert why not share a spoon and share the love!
