After this, it&#8217;s going to be a while till I come back for another movie as upon reading the link to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.belmarorthodontics.com\/how-to-fix-a-misaligned-jaw\/\">How To Fix A Misaligned Jaw &#8211; Belmar Orthodontics<\/a>, I realised its high time I get my Incisors and canines pushed a little back. So to sum it up I might be getting braces. Now regular movie going can also derail a fat-loss plan if you indulge in their concessions. (It can also break the bank! I don&#8217;t know how they get away with the mark-up on treats!) So since I am health conscious (and not to mention cheap!) here&#8217;s my tips for the next time you are catching a flick!<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>First off, bring a big bag &#8211; but Chicks already know that!<\/li>\n<li>I always bring a water bottle and a travel mug with tea<\/li>\n<li>Fresh sliced fruit makes a great snack &#8211; today we had a container of bluebs!<\/li>\n<li>Watch out for snacks like trail mix, dried fruit and nuts. While technically healthy, a portion is 1\/4 cup. Are you really going to be satisfied with that?<\/li>\n<li>While mini rice cakes are pretty much empty calories, they don&#8217;t have that many calories to do any major nutritional damage, and they can satisfy a crunchy, salty craving.<\/li>\n<li>Movie popcorn is horrendous when it comes to the fat and calorie count. If you want pop corn, pop a bag of lite microwave stuff at home and put it in you bag!<\/li>\n<li>Raw veggies are great for mindless munching.<\/li>\n<li>If you want chocolate, bring in a 100 calorie chocolate bar and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.fitchicks.ca\/blog\/2011\/08\/mama-chick-monday-slow-down\/\">eat it slowly.<\/a><\/li>\n<li>If you really want to buy a treat there, stick to something like frozen yogurt (a small cup), a SMALL (ie normal size 50gram) chocolate bar, or a cookie.<\/li>\n<li>Bring a pack of gum or mints. Especially if your date has popcorn. It just won&#8217;t taste the same if you are chewing or sucking on a mint!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If you only go to the movies once a year, then sure popcorn and candy can be a treat. But if you are trying to lose weight, or go to the flicks fairly frequently, then you can&#8217;t make every time and excuse to go into a candy coma.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_3036\" style=\"width: 250px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.fitchicks.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/images-9.jpeg\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3036\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-3036\" title=\"images-9\" src=\"http:\/\/www.fitchicks.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/images-9.jpeg\" alt=\"popcorn\" width=\"240\" height=\"207\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-3036\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">A large popcorn can set you back up to 1200 calories!!!<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Focus on the movie and the company!<\/p>\n<p>Have a fab day!<\/p>\n<p>Sarah<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hey Chicks!
