I'm going out celebrating; any tips on low calorie drinks and snacks

• Alcohol is extremely high in calories, second only to fat.  
• Compare the calorie content of all your favourite drinks and choose low calorie alternatives whenever possible.  
• If you know that you are going to snack then plan ahead. 
  
• Check the calorie content of every item. 
  
• There are many varieties and flavours of low calorie puffed rice snacks

TIP: Low calorie mixes are your best defence and have a glass of water between drinks.  Not only will the water fill you up, you're less likely to get dehydrated. 
​

• Dehydration is often mistaken for hunger and when our judgment is impaired we are more likely to snack on high calorie foods.
