Tips for when attending a party.

This morning I woke up and was thinking about party tips to give out. I'm not a huge party girl but there are individuals who try to watch their weight or live a healthy lifestyle and love to party. Often times when you attend a party there is not really healthy options on the table. The only thing that you will get that is healthy is a veggie tray with some ranch dressing. Everything else down the table is junk such as chips, sodas, cookies and such.
Because you choose to live healthy does not mean that everyone wants to live that lifestyle. But it is always important to let others know of the manner in which you choose to live your life.

If you are attending a party and you are friends with the host you can

-Tell the host ahead of time that you are watching what you eat and ask about light or healthier options. She does not need to make an exception for you, but you can always ask her what food options will there be, and will there be anything on the healthier side.

-Skip the appetizer and only have the main course excluding dessert. We always over eat at parties and dining out because we go for appetizers, main course and dessert. Skip the appetizer and dessert and have just the main course.

-Offer to bring an appetizer or a dish. Sometimes the only way to have a healthy appetizer or main menu is to offer to bring your own.

-Eat something before you live the house to avoid extreme hunger at the party. When you are hungry  and you are at a place with only unhealthy options you will resort to those options.

- Always drink a glass of water before the main course. When you drink a full glass of water or two it helps you to partake of less food than you would.

-If there are no healthy options then you can nibble on proteins, drink water.

Always be sure to ask the host if there will be any healthy options. If not then you bring your own.
