How to save a figure in holidays

Holidays bring not only joy, but also stress, long queues, traffic jams, family conflicts and overeating. Saving a piece at this time can be difficult, but it is possible if you follow a few simple recommendations.

Maintain physical activity
One of the main reasons for weight gain during holidays is the lack of movement. People spend a lot of time in shopping malls and traffic jams, as well as family meetings that usually take place at the table. Do not neglect the usual training: your body does not matter what the calendar holidays. Continue to visit the gym, take outdoor walks and add extra workouts to compensate for increased calorie intake.

Do not starve before the festive feasts
One of the most common mistakes is to skip meals during the day to «save» calories for the party. This leads to excessive hunger and overeating at night. Eat regularly during the day, choosing healthy and nutritious foods, and before the party can arrange a small snack to control your appetite.

Keep a food diary
Studies show that people who record their meals consume 15% less calories. Do not forget to keep a diet diary even during the holidays. This will help to control the amount of food eaten and avoid overeating.

Choose healthy meals
On the holiday table there is always a choice between more or less healthy meals. Prefer turkey or chicken without skin, salads without mayonnaise, fresh fruit. If you are cooking, try to make the dishes less calorie: bake meat and vegetables, use non-fat products for sauces, replace the cake with fruit jelly. This menu will be useful for both you and your guests.
