Don't put on those seasonal pounds! 10/18/2009
It's fall - my favorite season of all! However, this time of year usually is filled with weekly festivities and those delicious foods I've been craving all summer long. Here are some tips that definitely help me to not put on those dreaded extra pounds : 1 ) Before going to a party I eat a healthy snack or small meal to fill me up so I don't snack on those fatty appetizers. 2 ) Bring a veggie plate or healthy appetizer/dish/dessert to the party - then you will have a great snack that won't effect your diet! 3 ) Keep a no calorie drink in your hand - keeps your hands busy, you won't consume extra calories, and your hands will be too full to hold a plate full of food. 4 ) Exercise before you go out - if you put out your work out later there's a change you won't get it done if the party runs longer than expected. 5 ) Bring gum or mints - keep your mouth busy in times of desperation. 6 ) Walk after grubbing on goodies - you will feel a lot better plus walk those bad treats you just had to try. 7 ) Strategize how many drinks or how much food you will let yourself have before you go - portion control definitely helps in your diet.
