With Halloween only a few weeks away, we are likely to start seeing chocolate-coated candies and other sugary treats flood the shelves of our supermarkets. ?Similar to other holidays, Halloween tempts us with high calorie goodies. ?However, this number-one candy holiday doesn?t have to be a nutritional nightmare. ?Below are tips for having a fun and healthy Halloween.
When at Halloween parties or celebrations:
- Prior to arriving at the party eat a healthy snack or dinner. ?This will cause you to be less hungry and therefore not as tempted to eat sugary sweets and candy offered at the party.
- Be the last in line for buffet foods or appetizers. ?Foods generally appear less appetizing once many people have picked through them.
- Be mindful of what you are eating. ?The average individual eats about 44% more calories than normal in a group setting. ? Keep a mental checklist of what you have had while at the party. ?If possible choose fruits and vegetables over high fat foods such as chips, cheeses, and fried items.
- Drink water or a low-calorie beverage throughout the party. ?This will cause you to feel fuller throughout the evening.
- Focus on socializing rather than eating. ?By drawing your focus away from food you will be less likely to mindlessly eat throughout the party.
