Super Bowl Diet Tips
What better time to blow-off your new year’s resolution of eating healthy and losing weight than Supper Bowl Sunday. As more than 90 million Americans, and nearly a billion worldwide, gear up to watch TVs biggest event of the year, we plan parties predicting the collapse of our new year’s weight-loss goals.

1. Get a game plan. Players gear up for game day…you can too. Think about your progress and staying on track. Jot down a few key plays in your playbook: What’s my weight? When will I exercise today? If you’re hosting the party, decide what healthy items you’ll serve. Or if you’re going to a friend’s, decide what you plan to eat ahead of time. Tackle the day with the winning mindset.
2. Get moving. Game time is 6:00PM ET. That’s plenty of time for a morning hike or a pre-game flag football game with your kids or friends. You can burn 200-300 calories in 30 minutes of activity - enough to balance that extra slice of pizza, chili, pint of beer, or dessert.
3. Snack smart. Gourmet and exciting can also be healthy and nutritious! Serve vegetables, low-fat dips, and finger foods. You can spruce-up your guacamole and with mini pizzas and tasty baked tortillas chips alongside salsa. Try to incorporate fruit with grilled fruits, fruit kebabs and even football-shaped watermelon slices.
4. Planning on wearing the oversized jersey of your favorite player? Don’t! A baggy team jersey makes it easier to get off track. Wear jeans or fitted pants with your logo gear. And absolutely do not wear loose-fitting, elastic waistband sweatpants! These allow you to expand as you go … dieter’s disaster!
Be victorious with a good offensive and defensive strategy going into the game. Don’t be intercepted and keep focused on the healthy win.
You may also want to consider scheduling an intense weight lifting session in the mid to early afternoon. That way your muscles will be primed for the increased caloric intake.
