6 Easter Weight Loss Tips!

Did you know….Easter typically ranks as the holiday with the second-highest spending on candy, right behind Halloween.

Divert the onslaught of Sugar Overload!Stay on track and avoid weight gain from these Easter Candy indulgences!

1. Peeps

Each peep has 8 grams of sugar - eat a row of 4 of these little marshmallows and you easily swallowed 130 calories with 28 grams of sugar.Try this instead…Use them as Pin CushionsUse as a Stamp or to apply Paint

2. Jelly Beans

Sure they appear to be a low calorie choice with just 5 calories a bean. But how many do you REALLY eat! Seriously - if they are sitting in a bag, a bowl, a basket - how many do you grab with each passing handful? I know I can get at least 15 in my hand - do this a few times and you are looking at an extra 40 grams of sugar.
jelly beans = jelly belly

Try this instead…Throw them away.The cool thing about jelly beans is that they are Cheap and no one really cares after the Easter basket is ravaged. The only thing you will miss are the inches lost off your belly from NOT eating them throughout the day.

3. Chocolate Bunny

You may not want to know this but I must tell you.The bunny that we will take bites of throughout the day, is a whopping 1,000+ calories.This is an average 7 ounce bunny.
Try this instead…Put a NO calorie bunny in the basket- a stuffed bunny, a toy, a book or a movie.Something that lasts and has a bit more value than a piece of candy.

5. Eggs ~ Cadbury Creme Eggs

4. Eggs ~ The REAL ones
Let’s not forget the staple of Every Easter Basket - REAL Eggs!The one item in the basket that can actually help prevent major damage from sugar! Do not set these delicious and nutritious Real Food items aside.
