Trick or Treat: Does Sugar Have You Spooked?

10 Halloween Weight Loss Tips

Halloween is here again and so are the empty calories. I don’t know about you but one of the things that I am not fond of is the weight gain that comes from giving into the temptation to snack on sweets that are within reach at any given moment.

Here are 10 tiny tips that have helped me over the years:

  1. Wait until the last minute to buy candy to hand out. The longer you wait the better for your waistline.
  2. Delegate treat buying to a family member or friend.
  3. Make a list of candy that is NOT one of your favorites to hand out on Halloween.
  4. Commit to a daily walk or workout with a friend to burn those extra carbs.
  5. Weigh yourself daily during the season for a reality check.
  6. Go to the farmers market and stock up on fresh fruits and vegetables to snack on.
  7. If you are dressing up for a party, try on the outfit you are wearing periodically for motivation.
  8. Offer to bring a dish to pass to a gathering that you know will be a healthy alternative for you.
  9. Limit your intake of cider and fruity juices, they pack a lot of sugar. To enjoy them, sip a small amount from a wine glass.
  10. Once the event is over, give away all tempting treats or bring them to work. It’s always good to poison someone else. Just kidding!

When these tips become part of you daily habits, you will find your weight easier to manage while you enjoy the festivities of the Halloween season.
