Instructions

Step 1

Step 2

Serve chicken wings, which are low-carb if they aren't breaded and if the sauce isn't made with a lot of sugar.
Step 3

Put together a vegetable platter with cucumber slices, broccoli and cauliflower florets, celery sticks, mushrooms and cherry tomatoes, with sour cream for dipping.
Step 4

Scatter bowls of low-carb nuts throughout the room, instead of the usual bags of potato chips and baskets of pretzels.
Step 5

Eat cubes of cheese and mini-meatballs, which are filling but also low in carbohydrates.
Step 6

Drink water at the Super Bowl bash. If you want to indulge in an alcoholic beverage, try wine or low-carb beer.

Tips & Warnings

A low-carb diet promotes the consumption of meat, protein and fat, so feel free to add burgers without the buns, pepperoni and grilled chicken fingers to your Super Bowl spread.
Avoid serving mixed drinks, which contain sugar.
If you are attending a party where you know the hosts serves less-than-healthy food, eat a low-carb meal before you leave. Then snack wisely at the party.
