Prevention Magazine did the honors of posting some tips for getting through the upcoming Halloween holiday without adding more to your waistline. Here’s what they suggest:

Give trinkets as treats, and you won’t be haunted by chocolate. The kids won’t mind as much as you may think. When Yale researchers allowed 3- to 14-year-old trick-or-treaters to choose between a piece of candy and a small toy such as a pencil or ball, half took the toy. But if Halloween isn’t the same without candy, handing out fun-size packs of Raisinets (67 calories) or rolls of Smarties (25 calories) are your best bets. Don’t buy the assorted packages of candy because you’ll be tempted to try one of every kind.
