Summer Fun without the Sugar

Summer is filled with lots of great activities!  Those activities typically involve treats that are sugar-filled.  Here's a few tips to enjoy a treat, but also stay within your limits:

--Enjoy one small treat, but don't make it your meal.

--Bring your own healthy snacks, such as nuts, sliced apples and almond butter.
--Skip the sugar beverage at your meal (drink water) and then have a treat later.
--Hydrate with water throughout the day.  Sugary drinks don't quench your thirst, plus you'll avoid the sugar, food dyes, additives and preservatives.
--Stay in the right mindset.  Enjoy the activities and the friends and loved one around you.  Keep your focus off the food.
