Top Tips for Sticking with your Diet while Enjoying your Picnic
1. If bringing a dish to a picnic make sure it's a healthy one to share!
2. Pay attention to your portions. Don't scoop your sides any bigger than a baseball.
Your meat portion should not be larger than a cell phone.
When pouring dressing use only a tablespoon which is approximately the size of your thumb.
3. Fill up on your veggies first! Always crunch veggies instead of chips!
4. Eat lean meat. Stick with lean beef burgers, chicken, fish or tofu.
5. Limit yourself to one cup total of starchy carbs like potatoes, pasta, or bean salad.
6. Stay active! After eating, move around. Go run around the yard with some kids at the picnic or play some volleyball. Burn and sweat off those calories!
7. Drink plenty of water! Lots of times we confuse being thirsty with being hungry. Make sure your consuming adequate water especially while being outdoors. It helps to carry a water bottle around with you to sip.
