Healthy Halloween

As spooky season is quickly approaching many of us are planning costumes,
parties and most importantly what candy to buy for trick-or-treaters!
Even if you are not a big candy person, this is the one time of year many of us
(including myself) indulge. Many past Halloweens I have found myself in front of
a scary movie, surrounded by empty candy wrappers. While the hours pass and
my stomach ache only intensifies I think to myself “whelp we did it again.”

So here are some of the ways this year I plan to keep myself in check:
  •  Eat well throughout the day. No skipping meals or snacks to help with the extra candy calories.
  •  No candy until it gets dark. Trust me this is a hard one!!!
  •  Pick a number. Whatever number you choose is the number of pieces of candy you are allowed to have. Once that number is finished. No more!
  •  Purchase a candy you dislike to hand out. For example if you love chocolate. Maybe choose gummy candy to hand out, I am sure the trick or treaters won’t mind at all!
