Halloween Scare!

As Halloween is approaching fast, and more and more little bowls of "fun" size candy bars are popping up everywhere, remember those little bite size pieces do add up so quickly.

For example, imagine if your office at work has a bowl of candy out or your kids bring home there Halloween candy, and you were to just have four fun size Snicker's bars and a Reese's cup. Those little "fun" size pieces would cost you an extra 400 calories for that day.

Now, let's say you continue to eat that amount through out the week your excess calories for five days now amounts to 2,000 calories. This could seriously hinder you from reaching your goals.

If you were to weigh 135 pounds, to cancel out the five days of candy, you would need to walk and extra 9.3 hours that week, or run a marathon to burn off that amount!


Ask yourself if that 20 seconds of pleasure eating that little bit of candy worth stalling your results or even gaining weight.
