Fort Worth Personal Trainer Unveils Top 10 Super Bowl Sunday Tips To Cut Thousands of Calories

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) January 27, 2009 -- With Super Bowl Sunday just around the corner, and you are preparing for your football party, why not make a couple tweaks to some of your favorite party food recipes to make them more figure-friendly by kickoff?
You will literally save yourself thousands of calories by using the following strategies:

1.) Go Naked: Replace all breads and buns for sandwiches with a lettuce wrap alternative to cut calories, stabilize blood sugar, and boost fiber and micronutrient intake.

2.) Hydrate: Drink at least one to three cups of water before eating to fill your stomach and prevent overeating that can be triggered by dehydration.

3.) Eliminate Empty Liquid Calories: Minimize or eliminate all fruit juices, regular sodas, and alcohol. Opt for water, tea, or low calorie/carb beverages in moderation to leave more room for whole food choices that have more nutritional value and better fill you up.

4.) Do not fast in preparation for a feast as it will turn your body into a famished fat-storing machine the next time you eat. The resulting low blood sugar levels that come from not eating for four hours or more make you crave junk foods high in both fat and refined sugars.

5.) Replace All White with Brown (Or Better Yet... Green!): Be sure to use the whole grain alternatives for any starch you serve at your party (e.g. chips, tortillas, breads, rice, pasta). Whole grains are high in fiber which means they won’t have as negative of an impact on your blood sugar compared to its white counterparts.

6.) Focus on eating lean proteins and fruits and veggies first. Use these in unlimited amounts as needed to fill you up to avoid the "overkill"of high carb and high fat meals (e.g. thick crust pizza with extra full-fat cheese).

7.) Make sure to use smaller plates to put your food on while limiting yourself to a pre-set plate total (e.g. four plate maximum during a three-hour football game).

8.) Replace Gold With Green: Go for guacamole over cheese for your salads and chips. Guacamole is high in heart healthy monounsaturated fats but it also has a ton of fiber that will help fill you up fast and prevent overeating. Though cheese is a true super food in moderation, it is very easy to overeat especially with white chips and pizza.

9.) Replace Flour with Protein Powder: Few people know that protein powder makes a great cooking or baking substitute for flour (e.g. protein cookies). By adding protein and reducing carb intake you will boost metabolism.

10.) 22 Chews: Eat slowly and require a certain number of chews before you take your next bite.
