Cinco de Mayo is around the corner, which means we need to talk Food Plans and Game Plans because at 4Q Method, we don’t believe you need to miss out on an event because of your wellness or weight loss goals -- you simply need to be prepared. 

So while Cinco de Mayo is an occasion filled with lots of alcohol and indulgent food, your 4Q Food Plan and Game Plan will set you up for success whether you are hosting a party, attending as a guest, or going out to celebrate.

Salud!
