BONUS-10 Tips to save thousands of calories in Party Time

1.) Go Naked: Replace all the buns or sandwich bread crumbs with a lettuce wrap alternative to reduce calories, stabilize blood sugar and increase the intake fiber and micronutrients.

2.) Hydration: Drink at least two to four of water before meals and one to two cups every 15-30 minutes after starting to eat to fill the stomach and prevent overeating that can be triggered by dehydration.

3.) Liquids without empty calories: Stay out of juice fruit, regular soft drinks and alcohol. Opt for water, tea, or low calorie / carbohydrate drink in moderation. Eat the calories, not drinking.

4.) There are to fast in preparation for a party, and in turn your body into a fat storing machine hungry the next time you eat. The result of levels low blood sugar that come from not eating for four hours or more you crave junk food high in fat and refined sugars.

5.) White to brown green: Use Alternatives whole grain starches for all who serve in their group (eg, chips, tortillas, bread, rice, pasta). Whole grains have more vitamins and minerals and are rich in fiber, which means you will not have as negative an impact on your blood sugar level compared with their white counterparts. However, if you want to be a child nutrition or the Girl Scouts, a step further by replacing all the brown to green in the form of green vegetables (see "Go Naked" above).

6.) Focus on eating lean proteins and fruits and vegetables first. Use these as many copies as needed to fill up.

7.) Never eat directly from the bag or container of the community and use smaller plates to put food on. Set a limit on how much to eat early. Do not plan to fail!

8.) Replace gold with green: Option for the guacamole over the cheese to your salad and potatoes chips. Guacamole is not only low in saturated fat and high in monounsaturated fats that promote heart health, but also has a ton of fiber to help fill quickly and avoid overeating. Although cheese is a true super food in moderation, it's easy to overeat especially when mixed with sources of carbohydrates refined as white chips and pizza.

9.) Replace the flour with protein powder: Few people know that the protein powder makes a large kitchen or substitute Bread flour (protein biscuits, for example). By adding protein and lower carbohydrate intake can increase metabolism.

10.) Chew-Chew: Eat slowly and require a certain number of chewing before swallowing to allow your brain enough time to get the "I'm full" of the signal (eg, 20 chews before swallowing).
