Halloween Diet Survival Tips:
How to Beat the Sweet Season!
Candy isn't dandy when you're
trying to lose weight!
With Halloween highlighting the fall season, avoiding sweets can be a devilish challenge.
Here are some tips:
- Don't buy candy for trick-or-treaters until the very last minute.
- Skip the candy altogether and hand out other goodies; small gift certificates; stickers; bags of snacks; pencils or raisins.
- Buy the minimum amount of candy that you'll need. If you run short, call it a night of raid your kid's incoming bags. There will still be plenty.
- If the candy bowl triggers cravings, have someone else hand out treats while you enjoy a bath or book with creamy protein pudding or delicious diet shake. These are available from our online store in flavors like rich Chocolate, Vanilla, Chocolate Mint, Mocha, and more! They are a sweet indulgence you will feel good about!
- Candy leftovers? "Buy back" part of the kids' haul in exchange for a special toy or family outing. Then, take it to a local shelter (not to your office), or simply throw it away. If you overspent a dollar or two, consider it an investment in your health!
