Hi!
Halloween is in a few days--so much fun! Are you dressing up? Trick or treating? Of course, Halloween is also about the candy, so in this newsletter I'm giving you some tips for how to enjoy without over-indulging!

Halloween is about the cool, fun and scary costumes...but it's mostly about the CANDY! (I'm a chocaholic, so that's what I sneak from everyone's Halloween bags--when they're not looking!) But, although candy is delish, it's important to enjoy it without overdoing it, so here are some tips--follow them and you will have fun and still be healthy!
- Don't completely deprive yourself of candy, because then you're sure to eat too much when your will-power eventually wears off (which it will, I promise!)
- Trick or treating is exercise--go for it! Just do it the right way: don't eat candy while you're walking around (you will lose track of how much you're eating and also you need to check it for safety reasons before eating it--don't ever eat unwrapped candy).
- When you get back from trick or treating immediately get rid of the candy you don't absolutely love (give it to a friend, sibling or your dentist's Halloween candy 'buy-back'. Don't trade for different candy--just donate it!
- Make a plan for how you will enjoy your candy: eat one or two SMALL pieces a day (mini chocolates, or one piece of any other kind--not a whole bag or a big bar).The candy should be a substitute for a regular 'junk food' snack, not an additional one.
- Don't eat candy when you're hungry--you're more likely to eat too much.
Have a very happy AND healthy Halloween! Your body will thank you! |
