\"shirley-pommerleau-nutritionist-praxis\"Halloween and Nutrition: How to Manage?<\/h2>\n

Halloween is just around the corner! Kids are all excited to pick out a new costume this year and go door-to-door collecting treats. Parents, on the other hand, are haunted by the thought of managing their little monsters and the bags full of candy! Especially since the often very generous haul tends to stay in the cupboards for a long time, tempting sweet tooths \u2014 even those of parents who are mindful of their own waistlines.<\/p>\n

How can you manage it all?<\/a> It\u2019s true that it only happens once a year\u2026 but the years come around pretty quickly. So let\u2019s take the opportunity to work on some basic eating habits<\/strong> to limit the damage. Kids will be more tempted to eat sweets, just like you, if they are seen as forbidden foods! Believe me, deprivation is what leads to cravings.<\/p>\n

Strategy #1: Avoid telling them to finish their plate to get treats<\/h3>\n

This way, the less nutritious food will be perceived as a regular food and not as a reward. This will prevent the child, who may already be full, from overeating and labeling the food as a \u201ctreat.\u201d<\/p>\n

Strategy #2: Plan to include treats as part of the meal<\/h3>\n

Ask the kids to save some room for their candy choices. If we treat sweets as neutral foods, children will get tired of them on their own, which will avoid family arguments at home.<\/p>\n

Strategy #3: Keep the candy out of sight<\/h3>\n

This will help reduce visual temptation because we eat with our eyes too. By the way, these tips are good for you adults as well. Remember, the apple doesn\u2019t fall far from the tree.<\/p>\n

Happy Halloween!
\nYum, that\u2019s good!<\/p>\n
