Tips on Surviving Victory Parties

One of the problems with being on a team is the celebration meals. As in all things, moderation is an important tool for those hoping to lose weight and keep it gone.

Most of the foods are good in that they replace nutrients that you lost, but don't go crazy. Pizza should be debated, especially as it not only fills a psychological need, but it also goes straight to your waist. Limit the carbs as much as possible.

Find a place that offers salad and a television you can comandeer; anything after that is just icing. Of course, make sure that the salad is more than just lettuce, cheese, and a salad dressing so that everyone likes it.

Alcohol needs to be limited. There will be the temptation to over-drink, especially on win nights. Not only do you keep in mind that people will most likely be driving home, but some of them carry their own calories. As long as there is a two or three drink maximum, you should be okay.

Seriously think through the food you are going to have when everyone gets together after the game. Keep it healthy, but don't go crazy; now is not the time to spring tofu and bean sprouts on a crowd looking for burgers. Basically, have some fun with the food, but don't go crazy.
