To go on a diet on holidays – cause is almost hopeless, only the most hardworking and diligent ladies are capable to observe a mode, to go in for sports and limit themselves in meal in numerous parties and invited suppers. All others in first ten days of New Year at least try not to get excess weight. For this purpose, there are small cunnings if to start them already now, consequences of a Christmas vacation do not become for you an accident.
Restore a diet as soon as possible. Probably, your way of life has temporarily passed on night, but it not an occasion to refuse a breakfast after awakening, even if you will eat it at five p.m. The dinner, a supper and pair snacks also should be present during the day. Observance of a usual diet will protect you from an overeating: even if you will use not the most dietary products, at least, you will not eat them too much.
Follow a simple rule. The basic trouble of a Christmas vacation is that you can’t hide from meal. It attacks from different directions – various, high calorific and very tasty. And all would be desirable to try! Mum’s pies with cabbage and nice cookies, a dessert from the head cook at restaurant, some salads on a visit at the mother-in-law, the mutton foot, which with pride was baked by your beloved… Not to die of gluttony and to keep a figure, don’t eat everything in big quantity. You can try everything, but a little.
Lean on “pure” products. Salads, of course, the most New Year’s dishes, but for maintenance of tradition is quite enough to eat couple of spoons during a celebratory supper. In other days it is better to avoid dishes, which contain more than two-three components simultaneously. On any party on a table for certain there will be the fresh vegetables, the baked meat, fish, fruit, cheese. Prefer them: from this set of products, you receive much less calories, than from salads and pies.
Refuse ready sauces and juice from packages. You can save weight of calories if, instead of mayonnaise and other fat sauces, will use for refueling of dishes natural yogurt, a lemon juice, apple vinegar, soy sauce. In the packaged juice so much sugar that would suffice if not on the whole pie it is exact on a couple of cakes contains.
Use dry wines and champagne, they are done without sugar addition. Besides, in a small amount dry wines even are useful to health. And after their drinking there are no unpleasant by-effects in the form of a headache, nausea or a hangover (well if, of course, to observe a measure). You should know when it is the best time to stop.
