These weight loss tips for hosting parties can help you start a new party tradition and get a great body at the same time.
Planning for your guests
Plan on making the party about people, not food.
Add more games and less alcohol. Try popular games like word games, trivia games, survivor games.
Indulge in flowers.
Serve a rainbow of healthy foods. Include purple cauliflower, blueberries, green salad, yellow lemons, oranges, and red pepper choices.
Use beautiful garnishes and china serving dishes to make small servings more appetizing.
Know the calorie content of what you serve and the portion size. Most of your guests will have had other meals during the day. A party should not exceed one third of their daily calories.
For informal parties, serve high calorie items like ice cream with a small melon scooper and put in three ounce paper cups. Add a skewer of berries.
For formal parties, restrict your menu to one or two sinfully decadent dishes in tiny servings.
Serve a selection of waters with frozen fruit pieces. Offer freshly brewed gourmet green tea, hot or iced.
