Notes

Helpful Hint: Don’t show up to a party hungry! This will only lead to over-eating and making unhealthy choices! Instead, eat a protein packed, veggie filled meal before you arrive. The fiber and protein will help to keep you full all evening long! When at a party, munch on healthier choices such as veggie sticks, cut fruit, whole grain crackers and hummus. Choose the items you want to indulge in and keep portion sizes to a minimum…think appetizer plate size, not supersize portions. Bring a healthy dish with you so you know there will be something available for you to fill up on. Also, stay hydrated! Dehydration often masks itself as hunger. Remember to drink water or sparkling water in between alcoholic beverages.
