Pecan Pie is [on average] 500 calories a slice!!!
Heading to a party and the main dessert is your favorite.
Southern Pecan Pie!
You turn it down, but the hostess, your best friend, insists she made the pie JUST FOR YOU, knowing it's your favorite!
So, how do you turn it down without either offending the hostess, or bringing attention to yourself that you are trying to lose weight?
[Yep.... been there! "Oh, so sorry but I'm trying to lose weight!" Every head in the room turns to see who said it, and suddenly... you're the center of attention!]
Okay... so here's a little trick I read about on Women's Health....
simply pick five pecans off the pie and you have trimmed 100 calories from the total!. Eat only half ["So sorry, but I really am stuffed!"] and you are now down to getting to eat some of that delish pecan pie, and you've only ingested 200 calories!!!
Eating at parties in this manner, you get to have a little bit of whatever you enjoy most. Simply mind the serving size!
Remember that portion control is key.
In this manner, you've pleased that hostess who made your favorite dessert just for you, and still managed to maintain control over your intake.
Remember...
YOU...
control the food!
Not the other way around!!!
Enjoy this season!
Eat Responsibly.
