Are Your Pumpkin Treats Tricking You?

The smell of Pumpkin Spice is back in the air again...tempting us to pig out on indulge in the annual fall pilgrimage to Starbucks and Dunkin' Donuts.

 

Be Careful!

 If the information on the links I found this morning doesn't give you a good Halloween scare, nothing will. Here goes...

 

Check out these "Fall Shockers" from the Hungry Girl blog. Did you know that a Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Latte is 10 points? (Now there's a frightening  Halloween thought!)

Or this from the Huffington Post Healthy Living section...there's a cute video about how little pumpkin is actually in our pumpkin treats followed by a slide show on the health benefits of eating real pumpkin and pumpkin seeds..

I also found a fun new blog called It Sux To Be Fat (I sure can relate to that!) written by a fellow Weight Watcher that features the Ten Top Weight Watcher Pumpkin Recipes for you to check out...just click here.

So don't find yourself as forlorn this fall as this poor weight watcher...

 

Think before you indulge. After all, who wants to look like this by Halloween?

 

 

 

Not me!
