Surviving the Food Court


The mall can be a disaster for healthy eaters who are hungry and tired after a day of shopping. Consider the following tips on how to avoid stress and watch your waistline:
  • Take advantage of late shopping hours. Head out after an early dinner at home.
  • Wear comfortable waking shoes and leave your coat in the car. You won't be as tired or on the lookout for a snack to cool you down or revive you.
  • Try shopping downtown where you can stroll the streets and eat a healthy meal at a local cafe.
  • Bring your own food--bottled water, a snack bag of nuts, protein bar, apple.
  • Indulge and buy a single truffle at the chocolate store.
