Here are some tips that help me when I’m at a party and I hope will help you.
- The day you’re going out for dinner, follow strict dietary guidelines for the other meals during the day. Since balancing your sugar will give you a head start and will allow you to have a little ‘extra’.
-
Since exercise helps regulate hunger pangs, don’t skip your exercise on this day.
-
Before you go out, eat a bowl of salad or some fruit like an apple.
-
Insist on serving yourself. Then stop and look at your plate before you eat, both for appetizers and main course. Do not feel pressurized for finishing it all. It is your plate, your wish.
-
Remember food will always be there. The healthier you are the more you can continue to enjoy it at future parties. It is NOT your last meal.
-
Love sweets like I do? Make adjustments in the meal to accommodate your craving.
