Plan your shopping time- We all know that this is shopping time and visiting malls is must. What if we go unplanned to the mall? Indulging in junk food and whatever is available at food courts, less water and extra calories loaded drinks become the need of the hour. So before going for shopping it is better to have some healthy food at home, drinking more water to avoid dehydration and also avoid long hours of being without food.

Being thoughtful while attending a party- Party time is always attractive. Food lovers are suggested to be extra careful and mindful while eating. Suggestions for this time are-

• Always go for the best season food and count on your calories while eating. Additionally, avoid the regular food items that can be eaten at any time. This will keep the festive spirit high and help you to enjoy the festival.
• Seek company of a person who is smart eater and eat slowly. This will surely help you to grab fewer calories.
• Find a place to sit at arm length stretch from where the food is served. This will help you to avoid munching frequently.
• Be mindful of beverages too. Do not keep on consuming more calories just for the sake of drinking.
• Another interesting tip is to have a small plate rather than a bigger plate so that there is lesser space to have food and so having only favorite food on the plate.
• If you are hosting a party then you can be more careful about adding healthy and delicious food items and if you are a part of potluck ceremonies then its better you bring a dish that is nutritious and tasty with less calories. This will help you to eat a dish of your choice while being in the company of others and part of the group.
• The most important point comes the next. Be watchful while bringing sweets and chocolates as gifts for your dear and near ones. Take care of their health and show your concern for their well being.

Focus should be to maintain the current weight status if not loosing further and at the same time enjoying the flavors of the season and festivals.
