4. Do not go to a party hungry! Make sure you have not skipped any meals prior to arriving to the party. Skipping meals often leads to poor food choices and overeating.
5. Eat Slowly! Eating Slow=Eating Less!
6. Keep hydrated! 64 oz of non-carbonated, sugar free and decaffeinated fluids help to keep you hydrated and fill you up! Remember if you have an alcoholic drink, count it as your carbohydrate serving. Alcohol is full of calories and it dehydrates you.

8. Focus on the protein. Protein fills you up….Less Room for the starchy sides and snacks…
