New Year's holidays... What damage they causeour figure! And was it worth it to selflessly count calories for several months, torturing yourself with physical exercise, and then get a week's worth in one sitting at the holiday table? How not to gain weight during the holidays, when the tables are bursting with delicacies? Wouldn't it be better to rename these days from holidays to table days? Chew muesli, while everyone else is eating a third portion of lamb leg with garlic sauce? Maybe the holidays were invented as a test of our willpower, and their only meaning is to show how many temptations we can resist? Calm down. No one will force you to gain weight. We will give you some simple advice on how not to gain excess weight during the New Year holidays.
December 31, do not break the habitual diet. If you refuse breakfast or lunch, you will certainly eat too much for a festive dinner. Therefore, in advance, stock up on calories during a light and healthy breakfast and lunch, and never go on a visit to an empty stomach. Pamper yourself with delicious and healthy food all the last day of the year. Let your holiday begin in the morning! And before a feast eat kiwi or an apple. You can drink a glass of juice, milk or tea, better than green. This will save you from the night gluttony.
Be sure to wear a dress that fits your figure.Such clothes subconsciously discipline. If you are not completely happy with your proportions, this is not a reason to dress in a voluminous robe that hides your advantages. Any stylist will tell you that the most advantageous silhouette for "appetizing" ladies is semi-fitted, when the outlines of the figure are guessed under the clothes, but at the same time are not clearly visible. Such a silhouette will not allow others to mentally add extra pounds to you, and you will control the amount of food you eat.
At the table at a family celebration or partytry only special festive dishes and do not eat everyday. A chocolate or a handful of nuts can be eaten at any time. But a jellyfish, a goose with apples or a mother's "corporate" cake can be tried only on a holiday. And remember, the first piece is the most delicious. The fifth cookie has the same taste as the first. Therefore, try better, and do not overeat.
Why in the cold winter night we deprive ourselvespleasure sweet sleep, and instead we go somewhere off-road in the cold? To eat? No! For the sake of communicating with friends. So let's talk more at the New Year's table, boast of achievements, share plans for the future, generously give compliments to each other. And even if there is no time for talking, it will not be the same as filling a plate in the second circle, but a piece to be poured into the fork in the mouth!
Another important factor is alcohol. First, alcohol dehydrates, and secondly, it breaks self-control, so "under the glass" it's easy to imperceptibly overeat. Sometimes a glass of beer or a glass of wine is enough to turn you off the path of the true. Thirdly, alcohol has a huge amount of calories. Restricting the consumption of alcohol, you "save" from hundreds of calories: a glass of wine contains more than 100 calories, and in a glass of hot grog - almost 400, as much as in a piece of cake. If you do not want to give up alcohol, dilute cocktails with water or juice, or alternate one alcoholic beverage with two non-alcoholic drinks.
If at a party you suddenly noticed that tooeat a lot, try to get distracted. Walk around the apartment, admire the festive decorations, go to friends who are not eating at the moment. And even better - to have fun. Dancing, walking in the fresh air, launching fireworks, playing snowballs - a very timely diversion maneuver and real salvation from gastronomic temptations.
