Eat Lowcarb At A Super Bowl Party

If you have lost weight on one of the many low-carb eating plans, the last thing you want to do is fall off the diet wagon at a Super Bowl party. High-calorie and high-carbohydrate snacks such as potato chips, sandwiches and bread bowls are the traditional fare, so add some healthier foods to the menu as well. Read on to learn eat low-carb at a Super Bowl party.








Instructions


1. Make chili, and then create a garnish bar of cheese, slices of lime, cilantro, sour cream and scallions, which can serve as toppings.


2. Serve chicken wings, which are low-carb if they aren't breaded and if the sauce isn't made with a lot of sugar.


3. Put together a vegetable platter with cucumber slices, broccoli and cauliflower florets, celery sticks, mushrooms and cherry tomatoes, with sour cream for dipping.


4. Scatter bowls of low-carb nuts throughout the room, instead of the usual bags of potato chips and baskets of pretzels.


5. Eat cubes of cheese and mini-meatballs, which are filling but also low in carbohydrates.








6. Drink water at the Super Bowl bash. If you want to indulge in an alcoholic beverage, try wine or low-carb beer.
