Now that summer is here, follow more of Joy's tips to stay on the healthy track despite whatever temptations get in your way, wherever you might be:

1. Amusement park

Share your high-calorie foods with other people. Everything is super-sized at these places! Eat before you get there, so that you're not hungry and tempted by junk food. Finally, walk around! Use a fitness tracker to motivate yourself to get your steps in.

Slimming swaps:

  • Skip the funnel cake (760 calories for 8.3 ounces); choose cotton candy (175 calories for 2-ounce serving)
  • Skip snow cones (250 calories for 3 ounces of syrup); choose an ice pop (40-80 calories for large red, white and blue ice pop)
  • Skip the milkshake (850 calories for 16 ounces); choose a slushy (200 calories for 12 ounces)

2. Ball game

Walk around and stretch at the 7th inning. Alternate between drinking beer and water, and opt for light beer.

Slimming swaps:

  • Skip soft NY-style pretzel (630 calories); choose small soft serve ice cream cone (190 calories)
  • Skip jumbo popcorn (2,310 calories); choose bagged elephant peanuts (160 calories for 28 peanuts — bring the rest home or share with companion)
  • Skip cheese fries (1,341 calories); choose chicken tenders (700 calories)

3. BBQ

Always bring a healthy option as a hostess gift. Assess what is being offered and figure out what is worth the splurge. For anything super indulgent, follow the two-bite rule.

Slimming swaps:

  • Skip fatty beef: T-bone steak, wings (on average 800 calories for 8 ounces); choose: grilled London broil top sirloin, chicken breast and thighs (on average 280 or 300 calories for 8 ounces)
  • Skip half rack of pork ribs (550 calories); choose a 4-ounce cooked burger with half a bun (360 calories)
  • Skip coleslaw (290 calories for 1 cup); choose corn on the cob (130 calories for one ear and one pat of butter)
