So if you’re like me I look forward to Halloween every year.  I really miss the little Twix bars.  But in the 2 years that I have been on the South Beach Diet Plan I have had to adjust myself.  I dont really even look at the stuff that I find in my son’s trick or treat bag, except to check for random “contraband”.  I have learned to eat a nutitious dinner before we go out that night.  This keeps my blood sugar stable and helps to control the need for anything else.  One year the candy in his bag did strike me and I did indulge in a Hershey’s Special Dark Mini.  If you are on phase 2 or 3 I believe that this is an acceptable treat.  The South Beach Diet email this week did list a few things that you could partake in:

Individual packages of no-trans-fats “fish” crackers or animal crackers
Sugar-free lollipops or gum
Small bags of trans-fat-free popcorn
Individual boxes of raisins

These things can also be handed out to the kids for a healthy  alternative to the sugary sweets they are usually given. 

So be safe out there and have a healthy happy Halloween my little lettuceheads!!!!
