Eating Tips for Ideal You Dieters

Hello Dieters and graduates!

We need to talk strategy for getting through the parties! There are several approaches to successfully party eat.

Here are more helpful suggestions



• Drink 3 liters of water per day. It will help you stay full and well hydrated which can ward off cravings
• Eat before you to to a party.
• Keep a bar or snack with you in your purse or jacket pocket if you feel you need to snack at a party. it is better to have two restricted foods for that one day rather than eat a sweet treat off the plan
• get plenty of rest because a lack of sleep causes cravings for carbohydrates and can interfere with fat metabolism.
• Take a food that fits within the protocol for parties (i.e. A veggie tray, a meat tray, chicken teriyaki skewers, shish kabobs, cauliflower mased potatoes)
• Have a meal, not a holiday week. Try to stick with the proteins and veggies.  Pick your favorite carbohydrate and have a couple of bites.
• ABSOLUTELY NO ALCOHOL IS ALLOWED! This will set you back considerably and can cause a severe incidence of hypoglycemia and could make you pass out.
• Remember, the dinner party is about RELATIONSHIPS NOT FOOD! The purpose of it is to spend time with those we love
• If you host dinner at your house, have plenty of "to go" bags so that you can send a bag of leftovers home with every guest so that ALL leftovers are gone out of the house by the end of the day.
• Avoid people who trigger you to eat such as a family member that is critical of you or that you find especially draining to the around.
• Stay busy at parties. Offer to help the host seat guests, help with dishes, play games with the kids, etc...
• Look at your old pictures to remind yourself shy you are doing this program.  Review your personal goals as a reminder.
• Swap your lunch and dinner if you need to.
• If someone asks you why are not eating and drinking everything.  DO NOT SAY YOU ARE ON A DIET!  This will inevitably lead to them encouraging you to "just enjoy the party and restart your diet tomorrow". Instead, say that you are following a doctor's treatment plan to stabilize your blood sugar.
• Remember, this is ONLY 1 DAY that you have to sacrifice for the LIFETIME of parties when you can eat what you want to eat.
