Have you been shocked when you inadvertently caught a glimpse of your reflection in a store window? I have. Who was that person in my clothes? I wondered. I had been caught unaware and saw myself in a startling new light. Sometimes my clothes were not as smart as I had thought they were. But worse than that was when I saw myself looking well ,to put it bluntly fat. There was no denying it. It was an uncomfortable shock.
So start using these healthy eating tips and make it through parties without feeling like a stuffed turkey.
1. When grazing appetizers at party, place your food on a plate-it helps you judge how much you're eating. Don't eat directly from serving bowls and trays.
2. You know how family friends like to schmooze before eating? Have a banana topped with peanut butter as pre-party snack it will keep you from gorging when that lechon arrives at the buffet
3. Skip the hot mini pastries or fried appetizers that get Buffet-table items like veggies and dip, cheese and crackers, and sushi are often healthier.
4. In the mood for candy? Pick the one that lasts longest a minute sucking on Chupa Chups is better than a minute popping chewy, fruit candies nonstop.
5. Avoid mysterious punch-bowl concoctions; these drinks can be loaded with calories! For something healthy but festive, try club soda with splashes of OJ and cranberry.
6. If you know you're going to an afternoon or evening party. Don't skip breakfast. Eating early on will help prevent you from overeating later in the day.
7. Be the one who brings healthy stuff to parties. Low fat tortilla chips with salsa or air popped popcorn sprayed with butter-flavored cooking spray and sprinkled with cinnamon sugar taste as good as junk food.
8. Pick the darker food. Red sauce instead of creamy, sweet potatoes rather than white, spinach instead of lettuce. usually, the deeper the color of a food, the healthier it is.
9. At parties, survey the entire food spread before you dig in. You might be sorry you already has a sugar cookie when you find your favorite lemon torte on the other side of the room.
10. Choose the food that looks like it was processed the least. A beef skewer is healthier than rolled-up deli meats; cheese cubes are better than fried mozzarella sticks.
