Don’t get tricked by your treats this fall
QUICK TIP: Volunteer to take little ones trick-or-treating — you'll burn about 60 calories walking one city block.
If your life is anything like mine, Halloween candy is everywhere right now — in the house, in the office, in the supermarket. And if you weren’t the kid with the pillowcase of candy left over until Christmas (did they have unbelievable willpower or were they just weird?), then you'll need to be smart about your spooky snacks. Just remember: When you have to squeeze into that sexy cat costume come the 31st, every little bit counts. 'Cause let's be honest: nobody is having only one piece.
