Do you get concerned about what you will be able to eat when going to a party? Celebrations can be a little difficult when you are trying to keep to your healthy eating plan.

It’s always preferable to eat before leaving home so you don’t arrive at the party starving, this will help you make better choices. I find it’s a good idea to offer to bring a plate of food with you to share, this will make sure there is something for you to snack on. If you are the host of the party, good news, you get to take control of what food is served.
