Keep the weight off on Super Bowl Sunday
By Julie Wiegan
Don’t let your New Year’s Resolution to lose weight get the best of you on Super Bowl Sunday. Health and fitness expert Dr. Eric Plasker gives us his tips on eating right while enjoying the game and the much anticipated Super Bowl commercials.
Dips that Don’t
For dips, try hummus and babaganoush instead of heavy cheese dips. You can buy an assortment of flavors, such as red pepper, garlic and olive. Pair these with pre-cut veggies like carrots, broccoli and celery, rather than chips. You can also buy whole grain, stone ground or 100 percent whole-wheat crackers, which contain fiber and nutritional value. You’ll get all of the flavor and less of the fat.
Sub Saviors
Sub sandwiches can be a good way to get your protein and fill up on not-so-fattening food. Limit the mayo, pack your sandwich with extra lettuce and tomato, and eat it open-faced to save on calories.
