Don't let anyone tell you that fire pits can't help you stay on your diet.
Anything that comforts and relaxes can help you resist the temptations of food and drink.
If you're a past junk food junkie, consider having a low calorie barbecue around your backyard fire pit.
The result will reaffirm your commitment to your diet and let everyone else experience just how easy and fun dieting can be.
Fire pits provide the relaxing backdrop of your evening, but you have to provide the healthy menu.
That means you'll need to do plenty of research about what low-fat barbecue foods you want to offer.
Your low calorie drink menu needs to follow that.
Enlisting the help of a friend or two isn't a bad idea.
This is going to be a big event.
Here are a few tips for constructing your menu: • Keep it simple.
Stick to low-fat traditional foods that have a high chance for success with the crowd.
Don't throw exotic dishes at them.
No one changes overnight.
Just hand them some low-fat hamburgers and hot dogs and watch the magic happen.
• Don't tell them everything was low-fat until after the barbecue is over.
Sometimes people hear low-fat and immediately become closed to the possibility that anything low-fat can be delicious.
• Concentrate on the drinks! Low calorie drinks can be as delicious as their counterparts.
Get creative with these.
Use different flavors, go exotic, and knock yourself out here.
The drinks add color, flavor, and fun to the evening.
After the menu has been created, and your guest list has been invited, all that's left to do is decorate for the big evening.
Go bare or spice up the yard with a few new statues.
Since this is a low-fat barbecue, a minimalist approach might be best.
Let conversation and an outdoor game control the direction of the evening.
Fire pits are the star of every backyard barbecue, so gather everyone around, tell them thanks for coming, and then mingle with the crowd.
The food is sure to surprise many of them, while good music and outdoor games will please those who just don't like low calorie drinks and never will, no matter how much fun they're having while consuming them.
As always, fire pits leave everyone with a lot of memories, so when it's time to clean up, use your trusty fire pit to calm yourself.
Everyone is likely to have had a very good time and clean-up won't be easy.
