4th of July Barbeque
Barbeques are as much about the 4th of July as
are the fireworks! And why not? A barbeque is a great way to feed a lot of
people in a short amount of time and have fun while you do it! More than likely
whatever is on the barbeque whether it is hot dogs, hamburgers, steak, chicken,
or fish is NOT going to get you off track if you are losing or maintaining your
weight…it is the other foods at the barbeque!

If You Are in Charge of the Barbeque
Hosting the barbeque means you have a little more control
over the options but you also want to have a lot of the foods that most people
are expecting as well. No one wants to go to a barbeque where Kale salad is the
only side dish. On page 117 of my book TimerDiet if give you a few ideas such
as beans, corn on the cobb, or green beans. Tossed green salad along with the
more traditional salads like macaroni and potato makes for a variety for people
to choose from.
Bun or NO Bun
I also tell you how to get more of your barbeque foods on
your plate and less bun or NO bun! More than likely if you are having a hot dog
or hamburger you will want a bun, so what can you do? But the bun in half and then
cut the hot dog or hamburger in half and then double it on one half of the bun.
Easy way to reduce your bun intake but still enjoy! And your bun to barbeque
ratio just got so much tastier!
Barbeque Desserts
The best dessert for a summer barbeque is hands down “Watermelon!”
Nothing says a summer barbeque more than watermelon, if you want something a
little more rich then make some homemade ice cream! If you want a workout while
doing it use the old crank kind, we did as kids and it was actually fun!!!
Pace Yourself
You probably have several hours to enjoy yourself. So don't over
do it right away. Pace yourself and allow yourself to go have some fun and then
come back if you are still hungry...this is the biggest secret of all...
