Halloween floods the house with candy at exactly the time of year when GLP-1 appetite control is strongest — which makes it easier than you think. The real risk is the week after, when the leftovers call. The plan: enjoy a small curated selection on the night, then make the leftovers disappear (freeze, gift, or donate) before they become a November problem.
Judged with the same framework as the rest of the site — USDA data, protein and fiber first, nausea in mind.
