The festive table is traditionally replete with various dishes and drinks. Seeing the variety of goodies and dishes, a person cannot restrain himself, begins to try everything a little, and as a result, he gets overeating and extra pounds. And if at the same time a person was on a diet, then the result may be disappointment from his own incontinence. What to do? Give up the holiday? In no case! You just need to follow simple recommendations, and then your own body will tell you: "thank you."
Many hostesses cook themselves and spend the whole day in the kitchen, tasting salads, roasts and other dishes on the go. Or they endure until the last moment, which is also a common mistake. Preparing for the celebration, do not starve yourself - eat at regular hours, otherwise you will not be able to control yourself later.
Avoid mayonnaise as a salad dressing. The best dressing is a tablespoon of olive oil. Use more cucumber, Chinese cabbage, and lettuce as ingredients. These foods are low in calories but feel full when consumed due to their high moisture content. Feel free to add chicken and cheese. Boiled chicken fillet and cheese of 45% fat and below are considered dietary.
If you are visiting, bring your diet salads with you as a presentation to the hostess. Thus, you can not advertise your diet, but at the same time eat what is good for you.
During meals, take a large sip of plain water before eating anything. Note that alcohol increases your appetite. Alternate between drinking alcohol and water - just wash down strong drinks with still water.
Move more - dance, participate in competitions. But do not rush to move on to active actions immediately, without having time to leave the table: after eating, at least half an hour should pass so that the products have time to be digested. It is best if the meal flows smoothly into outdoor games. Do not expect to be called - offer to walk yourself. So you will be distracted from food, and the atmosphere of the holiday will not be disturbed.
