Dumplings, fried fish, kutia, and then poppy seed cake, cheesecake, and the obligatory gingerbread cookies. Phew... how can you stay on track? The holidays are definitely a challenging time for those trying to achieve a slim figure. Temptations are everywhere, and the lazy time of rest pushes iron discipline to the edge.
How to survive the holidays, enjoy all the delicacies, and avoid gaining weight? Check out our quick tips!
- When preparing holiday dishes, do not snack – such nibbling can unexpectedly, yet effectively, add centimeters to your hips.
- Instead of salt, add fresh herbs to your dishes – they increase the secretion of digestive juices.
- Avoid frying foods in fat. Bake fish and meat in foil, on a grill, or in a grill pan. You can replace fatty carp with another fish, such as cod or pike.
- Before Christmas Eve, drink a cup of mint tea to stimulate digestion. Drinking water will fill you up and help you eat less.
- Don't give up on dried fruit compote. It's a rich source of fiber, which stimulates intestinal peristalsis. This will help you feel full faster;
- Trick your brain and eat on small plates – you'll feel like the portions are large and end up eating less. Another trick – eat slowly, savoring the flavor of your food. Your brain will register the message of fullness more quickly.
- Take care of your stomach and its proper functioning. Double Detox, thanks to its natural extracts, herbs, and minerals, will positively impact your metabolism and digestion. This will help you avoid feelings of heaviness and overeating, and help you maintain a slim figure.
And finally, a very specific motivation: before Christmas, try on a tight New Year's Eve dress – don't let the thought of having to fit into it stop you from having an extra piece of cake :)
We wish you a tasty and healthy holiday!
