Did you know that they calculate that we will gain an average of four kilos these holidays? Are you worried about ending Christmas with several kilos more? Those who do not want all the effort of the last months to go to waste in these two weeks, will find here very useful food tips to put into practice during the Christmas celebrations.
If you are going to have dessert (something that is very difficult to resist at Christmas), reduces the serving size of the main dish by using a smaller plate. In this way, we will achieve that the total number of calories is more similar to what we are used to, thus preventing a remarkable weight gain.
Let the vegetables be the protagonist of the aperitif. These will bring color to the celebration, but above all, nutrients, which are often forgotten, forcing us to eat more to achieve a feeling of satiety. And to further reduce the number of calories, in the main dishes opt for vegetable sauces instead of high-fat sauces like mayonnaise and for whole wheat bread instead of white plan.
Christmas celebrations are characterized by the abundance of very rich and attractive food. Many times we would eat it all. However, you must fight the temptation to eat uncontrollably, as eating more food than the body needs is the most direct path to weight gain. In addition, it damages the digestive system; the most immediate consequence is heartburn. So when you're sitting at the table listen to your body to know when to stop eating and listen to him.
