Halloween candy is everywhere this week.
Remember Halloween candy is just the start of the treats of fall and winter. Decide your diet game plan and commit to it. (If you need help getting a game plan ready, check out the 30 day Fat Blast Challenge I host each month)
I have not been on a diet since I was in my teens, but I do watch what I eat everyday for my health. I budget for the honey ham and pecan pie on Thanksgiving and cream corn, hashbrown casserole, and chocolate pie on Christmas. Halloween candy is easier for me to skip as long as it isn’t in site than my grandmothers cooking.
#1 tip is to keep the treats locked up on a tall shelf, in a dark bag, until you see kids coming up the drive.
That isn’t to say, you can’t enjoy a Reeses, but it will help you stop from OVER indulging in Reeses. 1-2 fun size are fine each day if you diet is good everywhere else (Why? Read my post on the 90/10 Diet)
Besides using moderation, check out this best and worst Halloween candy list from Men’s Health.
Best Halloween Candies:
Lollipops – They are low calorie (about 20 calories) and last a long time.
Smarties – Each pack is about 25 calories.
Dark Chocolate – Soak up antioxidants with this sweet treat.
Worst Halloween Candies:
ButterFingers – The funsize bar packs about 80 calories!
Candy Corn – These kernels are pure sugar—usually the worst kind (high fructose corn syrup). A handful is easily 100 calories.
Still need a treat your own self?
Joy Bauer, the creator of the 90/10 Diet, recommends these treats that are small but satisfying in Women’s Day.
Warning –In my experience, these treats only work if you follow the first tip of hiding the candy after pulling out a serving!
