Halloween is a frightening moment of year — and I’m not just talking ghouls, ghosts and goblins here. No, even more frightening is the thousands of potential empty calories lurking inside tiny, irresistible, snack-sized sweet wrappers scattered all through your house. Oh, the horrors!

For obvious reasons, Halloween is not the optimal moment to be dieting but whether you stick to your guns, you can have a healthy Halloween. So final week, I asked you whether you were going to try to have a healthy Halloween, and here’s what you had to say:

• 43% of you said no way — it’s only once a year, so why bother?
• 21% of you are avoiding all sweet — good for you!
• 16% of you are boycotting the whole thing. Fair
  suitable.
• 7% of you are rationing sweet to your kids.
• 5% of you planned on giving out healthy treats instead of the usual sugar-filled junk.

Thanks for sharing — check back for more polls and results.
