Acceletrim And Advice on The Holiday Hors d'Oeuvres

It is now December 1st and we have a few more weeks of celebrations and fun. Doesn't time just fly by? Wouldn't it be nice if time could slow down for a while and allow us to enjoy more of it?

Being that we are moving right on into the holiday season, we are going to cover a topic that most of us don't really give much thought too, and that is the topic of "Hors d'Oeuvres", which are appetizers. When you go to a dinner or a lunch with your friends and family, or a work party, there are going to be these little snacks and appetizers that you have while you socialize and talk before the meal. We are offered these and we usually accept. Have you ever given it much thought as to how many calories can be in one of the Hor d'Oevres or appetizers? Tasty treats like fried spring rolls can have up to one hundred and fifty calories each, or more, and a lot of that comes from fat. This is just one, and if you have a few, you can be walking into the meal with way more calories than you can handle. There is some really good news about this, and that is there are healthier options available for you. Before you accept the fried and fattening Hor d'Oevres, take a minute and look at the other options, usually there are vegetables and dip, or grilled shrimp and cocktail sauce. Take a look around and save yourself from those calories. You don't want to walk away from the party knowing that you just consumed four thousand calories, it will be very difficult to put your pants on the next day, and for quite some time. A little preventative weight gain can go a long way and make your life a lot easier.
