Weight Loss Tips At The Movies

Weight loss tips at the movies

There is really only one rule for keeping a slim waistline at the movies.

• Stay in charge of your brain until the movie starts!

If you can safely get past the calorie-laden candy, nachos, sugary sodas, pretzels, and hot buttered popcorn, you can save yourself 500, 1000, 2000, and even 3000 unnecessary calories.

What can you eat?

The good guys

• Try diet drinks, with lots of ice. Refill with water.

• If you don't want diet drinks, try bottled water and refill with water. Ask for green tea (watch out for added sugar).

• Sharing with other people. Take only one bite of someone else's treat. If you buy something, have one bite yourself, share with everyone else, and throw the rest away.

• If you must have popcorn, make sure it is a small one without added "butter."

Remember, you'd be better off having a balanced meal than eating....

The bad guys

• Remember that popcorn? If you had a bucket of popcorn with "butter," you could be eating up to 1500 calories.

• An order of nachos with cheese sauce can run you over 1000 calories. If the cheese sauce is self-serve, it's easy to pump an additional 1000 calories of extra cheese yourself.

• Theater-sized boxes of candy? You need to have six people with you to help eat one of those.

• A giant 5-ounce pretzel is like eating 5 slices of bread.

• Large regular sodas can have over 500 calories. All of them sugar (or high-fructose corn syrup).

Practice these weight loss tips at the movies, and make sure the good guys win!
