The time of New Year's holidays is approaching. It is a very difficult time for connoisseurs of a healthy lifestyle, because the festive tables will be strewn with high-calorie and unhealthy foods. There are some "life hacks" with which you can eat deliciously and stay in shape!
Soda, juices
Such drinks are found on almost every New Year's table. They contain a huge amount of simple carbohydrates, that is, sugar. In turn, sucrose very quickly increases blood glucose and is easily deposited in the body's fat reserves.
What can replace this? Look at the label, there are many alternative types of sugary sodas that do not contain a single gram of sugar. They contain 0 calories. The fact is that sugar substitutes are added, which do not carry much harm if consumed in moderation. If you think that store juice is a healthy product, in most cases it is not, because it is diluted with water and sugar.
Mayonnaise
Almost all counters are packed with this product, because no holiday is complete without dressing salads with mayonnaise. Most options have a huge percentage of fat, which goes up to 67%. There are about 300 calories per 100 grams, as you know, no one is limited to one spoon.
By looking around the corners, you can find an alternative mayonnaise where it says "light". That is, this dressing contains about 20% fat. In terms of taste, such a sauce is practically not inferior to the one to which we are all accustomed, and the cost is about the same. Fill your "Olivier" with such mayonnaise so as not to cause unnecessary harm to the figure.
Bread
Usually everyone buys some kind of loaf, white bread to make various sandwiches. There are always crispbreads on store shelves. You don't have to buy the cheapest ones that taste like Styrofoam and the benefits are about the same. Buy the ones that are more expensive, but such loaves will have a low calorie content, high-quality composition and taste even better than ordinary bread.
Sausage
All sausages generally do not contain normal meat. That is, for the most part, such a product is made from animal waste. For example, good clean cuts of meat cost 4-5 times more than sausage. It would not have such a low price if it contained a large percentage of meat. The pleasure of this product is solely due to the flavor enhancers and the large amount of salt.
Buy smoked chicken breast, make salads from it. To be completely fanatical, boil the chicken fillet. Indeed, in terms of taste, the meat is only slightly inferior to seasoned sausage. But you will not get huge portions of salt and fat from sausage products.
Salads
When preparing salads, pay attention to the different vegetables. Add corn, green peas, they are low in calories and healthy fiber. As for pineapples, do not take canned ones, as they are filled with sugar syrup in jars. Buy fresh pineapple, you can eat it in unlimited quantities, it will not hurt your figure.
Look for variations of grapefruit, fresh pineapple, and a variety of healthy vegetables and fruits. Discard the "herring under a fur coat", which contains only salted fish, mayonnaise and a large amount of starch from potatoes. Combine salads with boiled eggs, the benefits of which are never disputed.
So, keep your health and shape in order even on New Year's holidays. Indeed, in addition to improving food, the taste of festive dishes can even be improved. Replace unhealthy foods on the New Year's table, use alternatives that are beneficial for the body and your fitness.
