Halloween Is Coming..

halloween health tips by kaleena lawlessHalloween has always been my favourite day of the year. It's a day of imagination, parties and well...junk food! Even in to adulthood it's hard to escape the chocolate bars and Twizzlers. Even if you don't have kids!

It seems everywhere you go, you get handed a mini-treat with the purchase of a (fill in the blank.) Workplaces, hairdressers and social gathering are flooded with sugary sweets to celebrate the day of the dead.

Here are Three Tips To Avoid Extra Snacking On Halloween

1. Don't buy too much candy to hand out.

It's better to run out early and have to turn out the lights, rather than having a box leftover of treats to eat on your own. Kids do quite well on Halloween and have a great time, so don't feel bad for falling short.

2. Eat before going to your Halloween Party.

If you know you will be at a party that will have candy, eat a big healthy dinner before going out. Being full helps to avoid the sweets. If you feel like you have to, use some willpower and know when to cut yourself off. Those little chocolate bars add up! 2-3 of them is already the equivalent of a full sized bar!

3. Don't eat your kid's candy.

It's hard. You are sorting through their candy for safety when all of a sudden,


"Hey, look at that. I remember this from when I went trick-or-treating. Can I have a piece?"
Repeat x10

Try to steer clear of your kid's candy. Not only will they complain but when faced with a giant bounty, things can get carried away! It's also a great idea to monitor their snacking. I remember when I used to go out collecting for Halloween. The following 3 days I lived a hazy, sugar coma existence.

Halloween is a lot of fun. It's also a great time of the year to test your willpower. Go out, have a blast with your kids or your friends but keep an eye on how many of those pint sized snacks you are eating.

Have A Happy Halloween!
