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.

Wings for Winners
Buy baked chicken wings instead of fried ones. When wings are covered in sauce, you won’t be able to taste the difference anyway. Just be sure to steer clear of blue cheese and ranch dressings, or buy low-fat versions.

Dessert Danger
Finger foods can be the most dangerous, as they’re easy to pop into your mouth without thinking. Don’t be a grazer. Load your plate with a small portion of whatever you want to try, and then step away from the dessert table. This way, you’re practicing portion control.

Workout Warriors
Plan ahead. If you think you’ll be taking in an extra 1,000 calories on Super Bowl Sunday, make sure to get in a good workout earlier that day and on the Friday and Saturday before the game. This way, you can compensate for the extra intake and net out without weight gain.

Complement your undertones. But to do that, you must first identify what they are.

Do not look like a mannequin. There is nothing worse than seeing someone who looks like a store display or mannequin. Be original and mix and match pieces that complement each other. Ordering custom-made clothes at places like Elevee.com can never hurt!

Get your clothes fitted. Stop dressing like you have to buy your clothes big enough to grow into. You are not six years old anymore. Your clothes are made for you, so show you!

Make sure you complement everything with a nice manicure, scent of cologne, splashy accessories, and a positive attitude. A smile wears better than any Armani suit!
