Don’t Let Halloween Be Evil to Your Weight

It’s coming! The candy, caramel apples and parties. Then we welcome Thanksgiving pies and sweet potatoes topped with marshmallows and brown sugar, and you know what follows Thanksgiving - more savory sweets and family feasts.

These next few months are typical for weight gain. Let’s focus on Halloween for now since it’s almost here. Here are a few pointers to keep the candy and calorie intake low:
-Buy candy that you don’t like for the trick-or-treaters. Better yet give healthier options like 100 calorie packs or non-food items (silly putty, anything glow-in-the-dark, or cool pens).

-Eat before going to a Halloween party or any party. Bring a healthy dish to the party using fall colors. You will not be the only one wanting a healthy dish at the party.

-Make a pact with yourself, family, a best friend, or co-worker. If you succeed in not overindulging in Halloween treats from now until November 1st treat yourself with something else such as a new outfit, a movie night (minus the butter popcorn) or a hockey game.

Remember - you can do it. YOU CAN have fun like a kid this Halloween, but just don’t eat like a kid!
