This is a blog that many people can relate to. Here we will give you all the latest weight loss solutions as well as health tips, diet tips, and the real facts on how to lose weight the healthy way.
Are you dreading what "The Big Game" could mean for your diet?
Afraid you won’t be able to resist the wings, the chips and the pizza? Relax. Before you park yourself in front of the big screen, we can help you lay down the strategy that will take you through the fourth quarter without any weight-loss penalties.
Make a good call. Sometimes the best defense is a good offense. If the party is happening around dinnertime, offer a well-rounded meal, plus the snacks and hors d’oeuvres. If you just nibble all afternoon, you may feel like you never really ate despite having taken in more than your fair share of calories. As a result, you may end up eating again later. Serve dinner early so you and your guests don’t go overboard on snacks while you’re waiting.
Pass the smart snacks. If you want to keep some more "traditional" Super Bowl party fare, opt for low-fat versions. Some ideas from your plan include low-fat nachos, snack pizzas, picante potato wedges, hummus dip with crackers, crackers and cheese, sour cream dip with carrots, tortilla chips with salsa, baby carrots, popcorn, pretzels and cheesy pita chips. Just don’t forget to pay attention to portion sizes.
Jump into the pool. If you’re bored by the game or can’t get excited about the competing teams, you might be tempted to turn your attention to food. Instead, create a pool that will take everyone’s mind off the snacks. Ask questions like, “How long will the National Anthem last?” “How many different entertainers will take the stage at half time?” “Which company will have the first advertising spot during the game?” “How long will the game last?” That way, everyone feels involved. Have guests turn in their answers before the game starts and you can all keep track of the score. Let the winner take home the centerpiece.
Keep score. When you eat party mix or chips directly out of a large serving bowl, it’s easy to lose track of how much you’ve consumed, especially when your eyes are on the game. To intercept distracted eating, give each guest his or her own little “super bowl" (in festive team colors, of course) and make scooping out a specific amount and keeping track of quantities effortless.
Never touch down. Instead of sitting close to the munchies where you’ll be tempted to reach for another plate, busy yourself refilling drinks, heating up hors d’oeuvres, chatting with other guests or playing with the kids. The less time you spend sacked out in front of the food, the fewer calories you’ll let pass your lips
