Weight Watchers' Super Bowl Party Recipes

____________________________________________

Weight Watchers shared these top 3 tips to help you win at weight loss on Super Bowl Sunday:

1. Have a Game Plan and Stick with It: If you know you're going to a food-filled Super Bowl party and are worried about your will power, eat something light before you leave go to take of the edge, such as some almonds and string cheese. Offer to bring a dish or two that will be a healthier option for you. And designate every other quarters of the game as "food free" to avoid mindless eating.
2. Focus on the Goal: You've worked so hard this first month at keeping to your New Year's resolution that you don't want Super Bowl Sunday to sideline your weight loss efforts. However, you can still enjoy some of your favorite football fare: a few chicken wings, some chips and dip, a slice of pizza and a cold one. To prevent yourself from overdoing the fat and calories, try this trick: pair each indulgent food with a vegetable or fruit; and follow each sugary or alcoholic drink, with a non-caloric drink. This will help fill you up and stay satisfied.
3. Power Up with Power Foods: These are your lean proteins, fruits, veggies, non-fat dairy, and whole grains. And they're the main ingredients to some of your Super Bowl favorites.
