<\/p>\nLocal doctor shares healthier food options for Super Bowl parties<\/p>\n
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tFROM MASSACHUSETTS TO MAINE. LOOKS GREAT. OKAY, WE\u2019RE COMING UP ON THE SUPER BOWL. IT\u2019S ALMOST HERE. SO IT\u2019S TIME TO START PLANNING THE MENU. THINKING ABOUT ALL OF THE FOOD, ESPECIALLY IF YOU MIGHT BE HOSTING OR GOING TO A PARTY. SO HEALTH OFFICIALS SAY YOU CAN STILL ENJOY GOOD FOOD WITHOUT PILING ON ALL OF THE EXTRA CALORIES. DOCTOR ROBERT CATANIA, THE DIRECTOR OF METABOLIC AND BARIATRIC SURGERY, WITH SOUTHERN NEW HAMPSHIRE WEIGHT MANAGEMENT, IS HERE WITH US. DOCTOR CATANIA, GREAT TO SEE YOU. GREAT TO BE HERE. SO LET\u2019S TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THAT. SO I\u2019M ALL ABOUT HAVING A CHEAT DAY EVERY NOW AND AGAIN. RIGHT. AND EATING WHATEVER YOU WANT. BUT DOING THAT WITHIN LIMITS. SO IF YOU\u2019RE VERY MINDFUL OF YOUR DIET AND NOT TAKING IN TOO MUCH, HOW DO YOU APPROACH EITHER HOSTING A PARTY OR GOING TO A PARTY WHERE YOU KNOW, IT\u2019S A SUPER BOWL SUNDAY PARTY, IT\u2019S PROBABLY NOT GOING TO BE AMPLE HEALTHY FOOD? OH, THERE\u2019S PLENTY OF GOOD, HEALTHY FOOD. SO YEAH, A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE WORRIED IF THEY HAVE TO EAT HEALTHY, THEY HAVE TO EAT BLAND OR BORING. BUT I\u2019M HERE TO TELL YOU THERE\u2019S PLENTY OF GOOD FOOD THAT YOU CAN EAT. THERE\u2019S A COUPLE OF EASY THINGS TO AVOID. SO IF YOU JUST STAY AWAY FROM THE FRIED FOODS, YOU STAY AWAY FROM TOO MUCH ALCOHOL. THAT\u2019S A GREAT START RIGHT THERE. BUT THERE\u2019S PLENTY OF GOOD, TASTY MEALS. WE EVEN PREPARED A LITTLE MENU THAT WE COULD TALK ABOUT IF YOU\u2019D LIKE, FOR OPTIONS AVAILABLE FOR PEOPLE. YES. SO AS WE POP UP THAT MENU, LET\u2019S GET INTO THAT A LITTLE BIT. OKAY. SO APPETIZERS PLEASE GIVE US A HINT. WHAT DOES COWBOY CAVIAR. COWBOY CAVIAR IF YOU HAVEN\u2019T HAD IT. IT\u2019S IT\u2019S SORT OF LIKE SALSA BUT IT\u2019S MADE UP OF BEANS CORN, AVOCADOS ONIONS, PEPPERS WITH A DELICIOUS DRESSING. IT\u2019S SO ADDICTIVE AND IT\u2019S SO GOOD FOR YOU. YOU CAN REALLY FILL UP ON IT AND REALLY GET NO EXTRA CALORIES. IT\u2019S A IT\u2019S A HEALTHY WAY TO TO GO CRAZY ON SUPER BOWL SUNDAY. OKAY, SO MAYBE IF YOU\u2019RE NOT GOING TO OPT IN FOR A COCKTAIL OR TWO, HAVE A FRUIT SMOOTHIE, FRUIT SMOOTHIES. ANOTHER GOOD OPTION MAKES YOU FEEL LIKE YOU\u2019RE DOING SOMETHING SPECIAL AND SOMETHING DIFFERENT, BUT HAS LOTS OF GOOD FIBER IN IT. LOTS OF HEALTHY SUGARS, NOT TOO MUCH IN THE WAY OF FAT. SO ANOTHER REALLY GOOD CHOICE TO WALK AROUND WITH. OKAY, CHILI IS A GREAT IDEA FOR A SUPER BOWL PARTY, BUT MAYBE YOU\u2019RE TRYING TO LEAN IT DOWN A LITTLE BIT WITH JUST A VEGETABLE, CHILI, OR EVEN SOME GROUND TURKEY. YEAH. SO I THINK IF YOU\u2019RE GOING TO HAVE A BIG MEAL FOR THE SUPER BOWL, WHICH WE ALL ARE, YOU KNOW, STAYING AWAY FROM THE FRIED FOODS AND GO INTO SOMETHING LIKE A CHILI STILL REALLY SATISFYING. VERY, VERY FILLING. NOBODY\u2019S GOING TO WALK AWAY SAYING IT DIDN\u2019T HAVE ANY FLAVOR. AND THERE\u2019S LOTS OF DIFFERENT WAYS TO MAKE HEALTHY CHILIES, BUT A VEGETABLE CHILI OR A LEAN MEAT CHILI IS A GOOD START. OKAY, BEFORE I LET YOU GO, THOUGH, I DIDN\u2019T EVEN KNOW THERE WAS A CHOCOLATE HUMMUS, BUT I THINK WE DID SEE THAT ON THAT SAMPLE MENU. PLEASE EXPLAIN WHAT THAT\u2019S ALL ABOUT. YEAH. SO IF YOU HAVEN\u2019T HAD, YOU KNOW, CHOCOLATE HUMMUS, IT IT TASTES A LOT LIKE CHOCOLATE PUDDING, BUT IT\u2019S GOT A LOT MORE PROTEIN AND A LOT MORE FIBER. AND IF YOU SCOOP THAT UP ON SOME SOME STRAWBERRIES OR SOME APPLE SLICES OR SOME PEAR SLICES, IT\u2019S GOING TO GET YOU A LOT OF FLAVOR. YOU\u2019RE GOING TO FEEL GOOD WHEN YOU\u2019RE DONE. AND WHEN YOU WAKE UP ON MONDAY MORNING, YOU\u2019RE NOT GOING TO HAVE THE GUILT THAT YOU THINK YOU MIGHT HAVE. AND THAT IS WHERE WE LEAVE IT. BECAUSE IF YOU FOLLOW WHAT YOU JUST PUT UP THERE, IT\u2019S EATING GREAT. IT\u2019S EATING HEALTHY, AND YOU\u2019RE NOT GOING TO WAKE UP MONDAY WITH THAT FOOD HANGOVER. VERY GOOD ADVICE, DOCTOR CATANIA. PLEASU\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
