From the word go
the Football season seems provide a plethora of reasons to eat badly. It starts near Labor Day
and goes right on past to New Years. Typically during this time of year our eating habits include foods and drinks that are so delicious
yet carry negative effects.
So I thought how could someone have a fun football (holiday for the Ms.) season
and still fit in their clothes that they wore during pre-season. Below are 10 that could possibly help you reach that goal they may seem like no brainers
but if you take heed you will survive another year without moving to the next waist size. Enjoy the season.

1. First things first
don’t even think about dieting during the holiday season. That is
don’t start a new diet. Your biggest goal during our most favorite season is to maintain your weight. This way you can partake in your favorite beverage and snacks without any guilt.
2. Another good way to avoid packin’ on the pudge is to stay seated
and far away from the food table.
3. Something simple and delicious. I would recommend bringing a light dip with either multigrain or wheat bread
so you have something that is somewhat healthy to munch on. There is a company (I think it has the title of chef in its name) that sells dips and breads that anyone can make
and are a healthy alternative to normal snacks. Just ask your wife
girlfriend
or any woman where you can find a beer bread mix.
4. The beverages tend to favorites for many during this time of year
so be wise in your selection. If you must have a mixed drink
try something like a clear liquor and diet soda
a light or ultra light beer
or a nice glass of wine. I know wine doesn’t scream manly
but it is an alternative. Remember this shouldn’t be painful
just well thought-out.
5. Good or bad
football games tend to be lengthy
use this to your advantage
and take part in the eating and drinking at a slow pace. The slower your intake
the better chance you will fit in those size 38’s come spring time.
6. Chase the kids
or take a walk
whatever it is
make sure you keep up on some type of activity other than couch coaching
and channel surfing. Winter time is hard enough for many people with the cold and darkness
so some activity will help you gain or maintain physical and mental acuity.
7. Eat at home before you head to the football stadium
or over a buddies house. This should help prevent a complete submersion in to the food and drinks. Believe me when I tell you
you will feel much better knowing you don’t have to drive home with your pants unbuttoned
either because of pressure or an untimely stomach pain.
8. Eat some chicken wings
not the entire chicken. I think that’s clear
and best of all it applies to all food! And anyway
who wants to get stains all over their new Dallas Terrell Owens jersey.
9. If you have the chance to host a football game
stack the odds on your side by putting veggies
and light snacks out rather than the pizza and wings. I mean really
do we as men pay any attention to what we eat while we are watching a game. So long as the drinks are cold
and our food crunches
we are in heaven.
10. This rule applies all year long. Stay far and away from fast food joints. It may seem like a good idea while you’re on your way to the game
but we all know it’s not filling
and it’s to exit.
