Brian NavarroBy Caroline Buia
Whether you stop at the pupusería on your way home from the club or scarf a plate of empanadas after a night on the town, after dark is the worst time to eat. If you're risking starvation (or at least a killer hangover), go ahead and indulge your craving. A few words to the wise:
-Fill up on water or caffeine-free tea before so you'll eat less.
-Keep the food portions small
-Eat slowly
-Out with friends? Share your plate so you're only having half the amount of food.
Buen Provecho!
