Good morning and welcome to Dishing Up Nutrition.

I'm Kara Carper, licensed nutritionist from nutritional weight and wellness.

So I'm wondering how many people out there are gearing up for Halloween, everybody?

Some of the festivities have already started,

and I'm sure they'll be going on until Sunday night. So that's why we wanted to do a show

specifically on a holiday like Halloween when it's really easy to get caught in what we call

the candy trap. Right, Anna? Anna. Anna Durhawk, licensed nutritionist, is here with me today,

and she's going to give us some helpful tips and also talk more about the negative effects of

sugar, which I'm sure no one wants to hear the day before Halloween. Of course. But Anna sees clients

at the St. Paul office, and she teaches a lot of classes and corporate

presentations and she's got three beautiful kids. I just got to meet her newest edition, Lucas

at a work meeting last week. He was super cute. But welcome to the show, Anna. Thanks. Hi, Kara. So I'm

sure it's hard when Halloween is basically all about the sugar.

And I don't like it because I have three kids. The youngest can't really eat anything yet.

But, you know, I don't want them to feel left out. So that's why we're going to give you lots of options for you parents out there and how to make Halloween a healthier holiday for your kids.

And it doesn't have to be the weekend that sets off sugar cravings because I used to get in that caught in that candy trap as Carr I was talking about.
