Winter holidays are coming one after another. And it is very difficult to resist the temptation and not try all the original snacks and dishes that you are generously treated to. All this, of course, is reflected in the figure. These tips will help you avoid overeating and therefore gaining excess weight.
More movement
Winter is a great reason to have fun and active time outdoors, remember your childhood and go sledging or play snowballs. At the party, dance a little more, expend calories, then no hearty meals will linger in your body.
More water
Drink as much water as possible on holidays. This will dull the feeling of hunger and help to remove toxins from the body in time. This healthy habit does not take a lot of effort, but it helps to cope with overeating and its consequences.
Know the measure
Don’t try everything at once. Surely you have eaten most of the dishes before, and many of them can be prepared throughout the year, and not just for a holiday. Or try everything on the principle of a buffet – very little from each plate, so as not to offend the hostess and satisfy your taste buds.
Choose the right food
Any modern person understands that salad is a healthy choice, and it will be more difficult for the body to cope with fatty meat. Even if it is not possible to calculate the calorie content of a dish, choose the lesser of evils: light snacks from vegetables and fruits, lean meats, fish.
Don’t get carried away with alcohol
Alcohol is the number one enemy of a slim figure. You should not compete who will drink more, otherwise the consequences for the internal organs will be dire. A couple of glasses of good wine or champagne is a great option for a New Year’s feast.
Don’t stay hungry
On the eve of the party, many try to starve so that they can fit in more later. As a result, wild hunger is difficult to control and literally everything is swept away from the festive table. Change tactics – have a snack before a feast with fruits, vegetables, dairy products, nuts. This will help to avoid overeating and saturate the body with nutrients and vitamins.
Eat slowly
Chew your food thoroughly so that satiety signals are sent to your brain before you eat too much. To avoid temptation, put only a small portion on your plate, and if hunger persists, take more.
Eat a slice of lemon
After a hearty meal, eat a slice of lemon. The acid will help the body break down fats and remove waste products. In addition, a sour lemon will cheer you up a little after drinking alcohol.
