Getting together with a group of friends to watch the game is a tradition, but if you are trying to lose weight, it can be a rough evening.\u00a0 Why not host a healthy Super Bowl party? Sounds like an impossible task, but take heart, as it is not as difficult as it sounds.\u00a0 With just a few key switch ups, your party guests will never realize that you&#8217;ve made changes to the menu that won&#8217;t leave them in need of a &#8220;day after&#8221; exercise binge.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Chili is a main stay of every football party, and for good reason. It&#8217;s a rich, hearty dish that is filling and delicious. Instead of using ground beef in your preparations, switch it up and use <strong><a title=\"ground turkey\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dietsinreview.com\/videos\/how-to-make-turkey-chili\/\" target=\"_self\">ground turkey<\/a><\/strong>, chicken or soy crumbles. <strong><a title=\"meatless chili\" href=\"\/\/www.dietsinreview.com\/recipes\/weight-watchers-vegetarian-chili\/\" target=\"_self\">Meatless chili<\/a><\/strong> or <strong><a title=\"Black bean\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dietsinreview.com\/recipes\/turkey-and-black-bean-chili\/\" target=\"_self\">black bean<\/a><\/strong> versions are also very popular.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Make sure to have an assortment of fresh chopped veggies and fruits. When the munchies hit, if carrot sticks are within reach, you&#8217;ll make a healthier choice.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>A six foot sub is a sub that doesn&#8217;t need to appear at your party. Instead, why not offer <strong><a title=\"flatbread\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dietsinreview.com\/videos\/how-to-make-flatbread\/\" target=\"_self\">flatbreads<\/a><\/strong>, whole wheat or veggie wraps with sliced turkey breast, low sodium lean lunch meats and low fat cheeses? Serve alongside a tray of pickles, spinach or lettuce leaves, sliced tomatoes, roasted red peppers, avocado, shredded carrots and pesto.\u00a0 Guests can make their own wraps using the meats, cheese and veggies.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Make your own pigs in a blanket with turkey dogs, sliced in quarters, rolled in puff pastry and baked.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>It&#8217;s not a party without chips, so grab an assortment of reduced fat potato chips, veggie chips and low sodium pretzels.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>In the same manner, a sweet treat is always necessary at a party.
