A series of holidays cannot be imagined without friendly feasts, family dinners and office corporate events. During this period, many people face a dilemma: how to enjoy culinary masterpieces and not get better. To minimize the damage done to the figure and body by eating food, it is worthwhile to arm yourself with special rules for organizing food for a while.
Low calorie diet
On pre-holiday days, it is advisable to exclude dishes rich in simple carbohydrates from the diet and give preference to a fruit and vegetable menu with lunches in the form of cereals. You should not eat fatty, spicy and sweet foods, pastries, desserts, alcohol. To make it easier to endure the hardships of this stage, it is recommended to snack on dried apricots, apples, prunes and raisins.
Abundant drinking regimen
On the eve of the holidays, it is advisable to increase the rate of fluid intake. You should not get carried away with carbonated and energy drinks. Plain water and herbal teas enhance metabolism and "free up" space in the body for subsequent assimilation of foods, splitting festive food. Immediately before the start of the feast, you need to drink half a liter of water in one gulp: it will take place in the stomach and the excess food simply will not fit into it.
Pre-holiday sorbent
Feasts are distinguished not only by a variety of delicious high-calorie dishes, but also by an abundance of alcohol. So that unnecessary degrees do not cause discomfort, it is worth remembering activated charcoal: a few tablets of it, or any enzyme preparation, it is advisable to drink before the party starts. In this case, the harmful elements of the menu will be absorbed not by the walls of the stomach, but by the enzyme-sorbent mass. Bonus: the use of this trick eases the state of the body on the post-holiday morning.
Table breaks and breaks
Since meals sometimes last the whole evening until late at night, it is necessary to maintain time intervals between meals. The break between a snack and a hot one should be about half an hour. It is advisable to have fun for at least half an hour before serving dessert. It is recommended that you spend more calories on vigorous activities such as dancing, playing games, or launching fireworks.
Eating on the principles of gourmet cuisine
Renowned culinary experts set the table in such a way that a minimum of food is placed on a large plate. This technique is suitable for lavish food parties. It is recommended to spread all the desired food in small pieces on your plate at the same time, and not to consume impressive portions one after another as the plate is empty.
Soul communication
New Year's gatherings traditionally bring together a lot of people, friends and relatives with whom it is interesting to talk. Do not spare time for this - after all, the meaning of the celebration consists not only in saturating the stomach with exotic food, but also in the joyful unity of loved ones at the festive table.
