Valentine's Day can be the most important day for all the hearts in loves but it's a curse to your diet plan. With love in the sir, you are sure to forget and ignore all the other harsh realities of life and one of which is dieting. Just before Valentine's Day you might feel that one dollop of butter won't make a difference, an extra bite on that delicious cake is just a friendly act and the nutty ice cream is what he forced you to. With all valid excuses, you just killed all your effort on dieting. So, what should Valentine's day be like for one's on diet?

Here are some ideas to keep up your diet even during Valentine's Day -

1.Dark Chocolate – You should not punish yourself by avoiding chocolate on Valentine's Day but you can replace milk chocolate with dark chocolate. Though the difference is not very much but you at least avoid intake of the sugar fat. With the world getting health conscious, many companies have introduced sugar free chocolates. So, you can now include chocolates in your Valentine's Day diet.

2.A Healthy Dinner – A healthy dinner can also be tasty. Diet food need not be bland but all it needs is a bit of precautions. You can cook the meat in olive oil, bake the potatoes, dish out a tasty vegetable salad and wash it down with red wine. Enjoy it over a candle light to make it a perfect Valentine's day diet dinner.

3.Eat Slow And Steady – It has been scientifically proved that eating slowly makes one eat less and also helps in keeping on the metabolism and at the same times just allows your romantic dinner to lazy around for a longer time.

4.A Long Romantic Walk – After a delicious dinner, how about a long walk on the beach with only the moon above you. The walk is romantic as it gives you time to talk and spend time with each other and at the same time burn your calories.
