It's called 'Super Bowl' for a Reason
Since its inception in 1967, the Super Bowl has become one of the most watched television broadcasts of the year - both in the US and worldwide. Ironically, this incredibly popular sporting event is associated more with huge portions and keg parties than with athleticism. In fact, according to the USDA, Super Bowl Sunday is the second highest day of food consumption (after Thanksgiving). Although it is most certainly an enduring and important part of the American lifestyle, it can be one of the biggest challenges to our New Year's resolutions.
If you're hosting the party, consider using low-fat or reduced-fat ingredients, especially for cheeses, dips and sodas. Reduce salty foods - it's better for you and you'll eat and drink less. Offer some healthful selections, such as fruits and vegetables. Use low-fat meats such as turkey, chicken and fish and bake them instead of frying. Vegetable pizzas will not only satisfy your vegetarian guests, but they're a delicious and satisfying alternative for your more carnivorous friends.
An article by Miranda Hitti on Web MD cites one proven way to prevent 'sacking your diet' is to serve a plate, eat slowly and stop when it's empty. If you're aware of mindless eating, you are more inclined to avoid it.
