So many of us make the same New Years resolution: go on a diet, lose weight, be healthier.  Then you go to a social gathering and all your hard work goes out the window.  There are a few schools of thought on dieting saying you should have a cheat day where you can eat whatever you want.  Others say stay strong and enjoy a low calorie treat everyday.  But when faced with a buffet full of delicious options what is a guest to do?  Choose the right items and one or two treats.  Exercise an extra 20 minutes earlier in the day to “pre work off” the extra calories.  Go with items that are sauteed or baked  instead of fried.  Vegetarian items are often a lower fat option.  Allow yourself a smaller piece or miniature dessert from the sweets display.  Drink a full glass of water before leaving the house and before eating anything.  With these tips you can rest assured that your hard work will not be undone by one night of fun.  Good luck in the weeks to come and congratulations on how far you have already come.
