High risk situations require a plan

Dinner parties and club nights almost always lead to unwanted, unplanned calories. The trick to being able to play- but keeping the calories at bay- is planning. Before you leave figure out what you want to consume during your excursion. Want a beer? have a beer! but if you know you're going to have that beer I'd skip dessert at dinner if I were you... Maybe even eat before a dinner party you know will be serving fattening foods so you won't be tempted by spring rolls, deviled eggs, and other forms of weight loss sabotage. Another idea would be to bring a snack you could swap for otherwise unhealthy late night burgers after a night of dancing. I, for one, am not above cramming an apple into a tiny clutch.
