30 Ways to Have Low-Calorie Fun in the Sun: Your Guide to Guilt-Free Eating at Picnics, Amusement Parks, Barbecues & Parties

30 ways to have low-calorie fun in the sun: your guide to guilt-free eating at picnics, amusement parks, barbecues & parties gives you tips, strategies, and solid information so you can eat well and enjoy the food that goes along with sunny down-time - at home or on vacation - without having to worry about the needle on the scale nudging upwards.

Sunny skies and vacations can mean eating challenges. The willingness to forego certain foods and control your portions often flies out the window with the first licks of dripping ice cream or tastes of juicy hamburgers hot off the grill. The "relax and enjoy" attitude seems to make it okay to overindulge in food without really thinking (or temporarily ignoring) the consequences (does this sound familiar: I'll start my diet in the Fall?).

The environment makes it for too easy to overindulge. Tempting food spread out on beach blankets and deck tables or hawked by food vendors who beckon from street corners and concession stands provides loads of opportunities to (over)eat - especially food that's high in calories and loaded with sugar, fat, and salt.

Use this book to help you make good choices while you're having fun in the sun. Learn about the calories and nutrition in the foods and drinks you'll find at picnics, parties, ballparks, and amusement parks. Identify some eating strategies that will work best for you and your lifestyle. Get creative - eat out and eat well.
