In this Christmas season the moment when you face the excesses that are presented on the table, this is a moment of fear for all women; not only with the food intake, but also for the drinks that later, without doubt, will pass you a bill.
What you should keep in mind is to set a goal of not to gain weight in those short weeks and not deprive yourself of eating, but you have to be moderate. Remember to keep the eating habits that you have preserved throughout the year and follow a series of tips that will allow you to enjoy all the traditional holiday meals and dishes.
It is good that you eat a little of everything this Christmas, but without falling into the excesses and in balanced manner; it is advisable to not repeat portions, this means, if one day you eat panettone, the following day you should eat something else.
These meetings and Christmas dinners are traditionally almost every night, so we know we will eat a little heavier at that time. Ideally eat something healthy early, respecting the same timing of meals every day.
It is important to keep in order what we eat; skipping one of the meals is going to cause you anxiety and a lack of control of what you eat; Choose foods low in calories by choosing a balanced breakfast and a light lunch, preferably accompanied by soups and vegetables.
During the day you can satisfy the hunger before sitting at the table with healthy snacks such as fruits, vegetables and nuts; this is a good alternative to avoid sitting at the table too hungry and prevent excessive intake.
During the Christmas meetings serve all the food on one plate to control the portions thus knowing for sure how much you will eat; Eat a quarter less than what you used to consume; Choose a healthy, low-fat menu, with low calorie salads; chew and eat slowly, tasting the good food.
Also enjoy traditional Christmas desserts, but do not overdo it! Avoid desserts with custard and chocolate cakes; these have a high caloric content; choose nuts or a moderate piece of traditional black cake.
In these celebrations you will consume alcohol, but remember that it is also important to know how much you are drinking because excessive alcohol intake and a good figure are not compatible. The cocktails, especially those desserts that blend liquor with various creams, are loaded with sugar and calories. Wine, whiskey, beer and cider are the drinks with lower alcohol content and with less fat, but in the same way is prudent to consume them with moderation.
Take this opportunity to enjoy with your loved ones these beautiful Christmas and taste all the typical Christmas meals and ditches served at your table, but without falling into excess. Bon appetit!
