BEST DIET TIP #6: Enjoy your treats away from home.
When you need a treat, Ellie Krieger, RD, host of Food Network's Healthy Appetite, suggests taking a walk to your local ice cream parlor or planning a family outing.
"By making it into an adventure, you don't have to worry about the temptation of having treats in the house, and it is a fun and pleasurable way to make it work when you are trying to lose weight," says Krieger.
And for those times you just can't get out? Krieger stocks her kitchen with fresh fruit, which she thinks can be every bit as delicious as any other dessert.
This is a really good little tip. HAVING NO TREATS IN THE HOUSE... will make it so much easier to stick to your diet. I am one of several hosts for a baby shower next Tuesday evening and I am going to enjoy a "tiny" piece of cake, but no punch. I will eat accordingly Monday and Tuesday to allow for that treat and it is something I will look forward to. Because the shower is not at my house I won't be tempted to eat more than the one slice.
