Controlling weight in holidays
August 29, 2008
Generally, people tend to eat more and gain weight during the holidays. Putting on extra pounds during the holidays is mainly because of the tempting extravagant dinners and lip-smacking treats. The holiday time is freak-out moments with parties, lunches and dinners in exclusive restaurants, gatherings of family and friends which makes it enjoyable with different kinds of food. You need to be little conscious on such occasions to abstain from eating excessively during such holidays. The emphasis should be on a nutritious and healthy diet for feeling light and energetic in order to make more fun.
You should never skip meals. Skipping any meal makes us irritable, weary and may adversely affect your health. It often causes headache that may spoil your eventide fun and frolic. Moreover, skipping meal will make you hungrier and the presence of variety of mouth watering recipes would tempt you to overeat, ultimately consuming much more calories than usual.
Do not skip meals; but just choose your food sensibly. You can opt for low-fat milk or even a bowl-full of cereal of whole grain in a breakfast. During mid-day meal, your choice of nuts and raisins could be healthier. Then during lunch, healthier option could be a bowl of vegetable or fruit salad along with a sandwich, which preferably is made up of whole grain bread. This kind of diet undoubtedly will maintain your health and fuel your brain for the rest of the day.
You should try to consume some fibrous food before attending the Party.
Fibrous food items would help by minimizing the hunger just before going there. As a result you might not eat excessively during party time. Even in the party, try eating foods like vegetables low in calorie count, a salads, fresh fruits, etc. Try to make it a habit to eat little quantity of your favorite foods, for example, you can choose between a cookie or a pie, but do not go for both. From the serving-table, choose and pick any one single thing of your choice to eat. Apart from that particular food, your entire plate should contain leafy vegetables, fibrous fruits, whole grain crackers, fish or sea food, lean meats etc in order to avoid extra pounds.
