The Scariest Halloween Treats

Halloween is the beginning of the feasting season, which lasts all through the holidays. If you are like 60% of overweight Americans, you're looking to keep your weight in check or even lose a few pounds -- not blow your diet by mindlessly eating fun-size candy bars.

"One day of splurging on a few small candy bars won't hurt most kids or adults, but unfortunately there is so much candy that the indulgence goes on for days, even weeks, and that can spell dietary disaster," says Marilyn Tanner-Blasiar, MHS, RD, a pediatric dietitian at the Washington University School of Medicine.
