Alright lovedoves, one of the naughtiest days of the year is upon us, and as the chocolates and sweet treats call your name, I'm here to offer some advice on how to consume fewer calories on Valentine's Day so you can stay true to your diet. Here are three tips for maintaining your diet while celebrating a sweet holiday:
1. Ask your valentine not to get you chocolate
At first you may think this sounds mean or rude, but when you explain to your valentine that you're on a strict diet and truly trying to change your life, he or she should understand and ditch the chocolates for an inedible treat, like flowers or teddy bears.
2. If your valentine still wants to buy you chocolate, ask them to get you the sugar free chocolate
It's a little bit hard to find, but Russel Stover makes a whole box of sugar-free chocolates in different sizes that are as tasty as the real thing, but fewer calories.
3. Do something that doesn't involve food for Valentine's Day
Valentine's Day is one of those holidays that for some reason has evolved to almost always involve food. But it doesn't have to. Take a day trip with your sweet heart and try not to eat out so you can stick to your diet and still have a nice time.
