The holidays are coming, and that means...sugar! And food pretty much everywhere. If you don't proactively make a plan to create healthy boundaries around sweets, your weight loss and health goals can get quickly derailed. This episode covers simple strategies to not eat all the Halloween candy.

Candy Alternatives

Leftover Candy Ideas

• Throw it away.
• Donate to charity, including Treats for Troops, Operation Shoebox, local food pantries, Ronald McDonald house, or nursing homes.
•  Some dental offices also offer a “buyback program” where they will send leftover candy to charities. 
• Find a game, art, or science project for it. Search the internet for learning activities or science experiments with candy. 
• Enlist the “Switch Witch.” 
• Add it to holiday gifts. 

Strategies to Not Eat the Candy 

• Buy an alternative, or buy candy you don't like.
• Out of sight, out of mind.
