Before we get into the details of how, let’s discussed some FOOD SHOCKERS that hopefully will open your eyes to how your decisions impact your health.
- CHICKEN WINGS – Per the National Chicken Council, Americans will consume 1.25 billion chicken wings.
- You can reduce the “bad” effect by baking the chicken wings and eating in. Simply preheat your oven to 450 degrees. Place the wings on a foil-lined broiler pan and brush with olive oil. Sprinkle on pink himalayan salt. Cook for 50-55 minutes until golden in color. Sauce with your favorite sauce. Place the wings back on the broiler pan and cook for 5-7 minutes to heat the sauce. Be careful, the more sugar in the sauce, the easier it is to burn the sauce. Finally, sauce the wings for the second time and serve. Healthy and yummy!!
- PIZZA – 1 out of 7 Americans will order takeout. Of those, 60% will order pizza. All I can say is OMGoodness!!
- CHIPS – 11 million pounds of chips will be eaten on game day. 4 million pounds of pretzels and 2.5 million pounds of nuts. Now that’s nuts!!
- BEER – Americans will drink 50 million cases of beer this weekend. Please drink responsible.
- SODA – Americans will spend $2.37 million on soda.
What is earth-shattering is that the sale of ANTACIDS will increase 20% following game day. And 6% will call in sick.
You do not want your health to be a roller coaster like this. Super Bowl nutrition can be enjoyed and not derail all of your goals.
So how do you break the snacks gone wild and embrace the Super Bowl nutrition?
The K.I.S.S. ~ Do the P.A.R.T.Y. Shuffle!
- PLAN to move. Get in your intentional movement early.
- ACCELERATE the H2O. Stay hydrated with water. Bring your own water bottle to make it easy too.
- REDUCE the graze effect. Keep the food away from the television. This will reduce unnecessary stuffing of the face. A bonus for all.
- TARGET the goal. And that goal is YOU! What do you need to stay on track? Bring some healthy alternatives portioned for you or enough to share with all.
- YIELD to minis. Eat mini-meals containing protein and vegetables every time you get a plate of food.
The P.A.R.T.Y. Shuffle is great for all celebrations. Don’t fall into the trap of food gone wild. Ready. Set. Hike!
