Babka also offers the following:
- Beware of empty calories. It is easy to overload on salads high in calories, fat, and carbohydrates. Summer cookouts include rich foods and usually plenty of alcohol.
- Eating before a summer cookout will also assist in combating over indulgence while at the party.
- If possible, try and bring a healthy side dish to a summer function. Most importantly, however, stop eating after you are full. If you do not want to offend the host, place your portions on a smaller plate to give the appearance of more food.
- Take advantage of the warm weather to get outdoor exercise, "Walking is an excellent regardless of what shape you are in, there is also biking, swimming, tennis and jogging."
