- Make sure not to skip meals on the day of the social event and drink plenty of water throughout the day.
- Eat a small snack at least 1 hour before going to the event.
- Socialize more and focus less on the food. Enjoy the company of the guests and/or friends at the party. Stand away from the buffet table to avoid temptations.
- Decide before you go what your limit will be with alcohol. Recommendations for women are no more than 1 serving of alcohol a day and no more than 2 servings for men. Alcohol can also increase your appetite.
- Use a small plate or get smaller portions.
- Savor each bite and eat slowly.
- Drink non-calorie beverages or seltzer water if available. Drink more water if healthy choices are limited.
- If you are taking food, take fruits and vegetables, a big salad or another healthy option.
- Relax, enjoy and have a good time
