How to Have a Fun & Healthy Low-Carb Halloween


Links and Show Notes

Let’s talk about the scariest thing about Halloween. All that sugar.


Several years back on a website I frequented, there was a discussion of Halloween plans. It was there that I first encountered the concept of trunk or treat, a Halloween event that is apparently gaining popularity across the country.


Other than trunk or treat, my vote would be a return to the Halloween party with spooky games and music and at least some non-candy food. Read ghost stories by firelight, hang apples from strings and see who can eat theirs without using their hands, carve jack o lanterns, have a scary laugh contest and a costume judging with lots of prizes, scariest, prettiest, funniest, most creative, etc.


The more kids get prizes, the better. If you have space, how about creating a haunted path in your backyard? I have a big backyard with a path through the woods that would be perfect for this. Alas, I have no children. The drawback to this is that private parties are invitation only events, and some kids could get left out.


This is a great reason for organizations, from scout troops to neighborhood associations, to create their own Everybody Welcome Halloween events. If you’re still in a trick or treating part of the country, may I make a few gentle suggestions? Focus as much attention as you can on the many fun and creative Halloween activities that don’t involve sugar.
