8 tips to avoid gaining weight during the holidays
The end of the year festivities are a challenge for those who watch their character. Small oven here, cobalt there and here are the calories that are piling up. To prevent the holidays from turning into a nightmare for your streak, follow our eight tips against overweight during the holidays. All without depriving yourself.
Do not leave it on an empty stomach
Before going to a party, you should eat a small snack. An apple, yogurt, a boiled egg with tea and a clogged stomach. As a result, you won't be throwing yourself at the petit immediately upon your arrival.
Strategic place to avoid weight gain
Don't hang out at the buffet. Proximity increases temptation. Help yourself when offered or make yourself a small (reasonable) bowl of petit four and eat it slowly to appreciate and feel full.
Watch your classes
Control portion sizes. The ideal dish consists of half a portion of vegetables, a quarter of protein, and a quarter of carbohydrates. Avoid eating meals. As for sweets, choose the one you like the most, and take small portions.
Trick to avoid gaining weight
You can enjoy it all, but you have to admit that some New Year's Eve dishes are full of fat. To limit the effects on your streak, use tricks. For example, you can reduce fat consumption by removing the skin from turkey or chicken. You can also eat smoked salmon with bread but without a thick layer of butter.
Get the light seal
Beware of alcoholic and sugary drinks that are high in calories. It's best to enjoy a small glass of champagne or wine, but balance it with plenty of water, which helps curb hunger.
Avoid spending the evening eating non-stop snacks
Eat once, not all night. If you tap all evening, you'll pile up calories without feeling particularly satiated and satisfied with your holiday meals. Sit at the table with a plate and enjoy holiday foods. Satisfaction and balance guaranteed.
Don't keep leftovers
If you're the host, serve leftovers to your guests at the end of the evening. Having a meal on the feast once is a good thing ... twice a "disaster" on the hips.
Move during the party
Don't sit down to eat all day or all night. Also focus on conversations rather than food. Feel free to get up between each cycle and walk a bit. 17 steps are enough to boost blood circulation. Get up and dance, it's party time, right?
