Healthy and proper nutrition during the holidays.
Many people believe that skipping breakfast or lunch will save them all those calories for the holiday party that night. This may seem like a good idea, but skipping meals can make you irritable and tired, and possibly lead to headaches that can ruin your evening celebrations. It can also lead to overeating when you do start eating dinner after a long fast, as severe hunger often leads to you eating more than you need.
Try eating portioned meals
Be sure to eat nutrient-rich foods throughout the day to maintain a balanced diet. For example, eat a bowl of wholegrain cereals and low-fat milk for breakfast, an afternoon snack of raisins and nuts, and then a healthy lunch with lots of salad or a sandwich of wholegrain bread to keep active and have strength throughout the day.
Eat high-fiber foods before a party
When you're about to attend a party, snack on fiber-rich foods throughout the day and shortly before the party itself begins. Fiber is an important nutrient every day, as it helps us feel full for longer. This can help during the holiday season, as you may not feel the need to eat very much at a party if you're not already hungry. Foods rich in fiber, such as some fruits and vegetables, are always a reasonable addition to your diet, such as a small salad, a plate of vegetables, or a glass of fresh fruit.
Still enjoy your favorite food
An excessively restrictive diet often leads to a fear of eating and even to overeating, if you have held on for a long time and eventually broke down. Instead, don't forget to afford your favorite food during the holidays and sometimes at other times. Try not to forget about the portions and at the same time be sure to include in your diet a lot of foods rich in nutrients.
Communicate!
Parties are more than just food, so don't forget to spend time socializing with others! It also gives your body the ability to digest the food you consumed at the party, and gives you the ability to assess your satiety level!
Choose the appropriate pace of eating
It takes your brain a while to realize that your stomach is filling up, which can sometimes lead to overeating if you eat too fast.
Put your fork between meals and drink some water. Relax and enjoy the taste and aroma. Chew each bite thoroughly before swallowing. Enjoy every moment with your friends, family and this wonderful food. Remember, this is food, not a race to see who eats the fastest and most.
Drink plenty of water
Sometimes it is difficult to distinguish between hunger and thirst signals, which may lead some people to assume that they are hungry, when in fact they may be thirsty. Drinking plenty of water during meals and throughout the day is an easy way to start distinguishing between the two. You can also use water to slow down your food intake by taking a couple of sips between bites.
Drink a glass of water before drinking alcohol and between drinks to reduce your alcohol intake.
Save healthy snacks at Work
Healthy snacks can help many people stay on track, especially at work. Instead of traditional snacks, try snacking on nuts, raisins, fresh fruit or energy bars, so that the calorie content of the snacks ensures proper nutrition.
Result
Avoiding overeating during the holidays can be difficult. If you overeat from time to time, don't blame yourself for it. Be kind to yourself. Remember that following a healthy diet throughout your vacation requires practice, and one meal does not improve or spoil your health for a long time. Forgive yourself and make sure your next meal or snack is healthy.
