Keep your diet intact during the holidays is definitely a challenge.
You must have a plan if you want to handle it right without missing any holiday
get-together. In connection to this, the proper mindset to have is to allow yourself
to eat all your favorite food in sensible portions.
Be picky – If you’re in a buffet, try only dishes that aren’t
usually available in your kitchen year in and year out. This will keep you from
gorging on every dish served on the table.
Chew gum – Are you in charge of the cooking? If yes, you’re
most likely give into the temptation of eating every now and then. Chewing a
sugarless gum will keep you from eating while cooking.
Don’t skip meals – Some people starve themselves for the
whole day when they’re attending a dinner party. If you do this, you will have
the tendency to overeat. Eat normally on the day of the dinner party. Eat a
full breakfast, a light lunch and a small snack before the dinner party starts.
Ignore the appetizers – Eat some fruits, nuts or salads
Instead of appetizers. This will help you keep watch of the calories even
before the main course begins.
Don close-fitting clothes – Close-fitting clothes require
you to suck your stomach in all the time. When you’re busy holding your tummy
in, you will be conscious about the amount of food you put on your plate. Hence,
you will eat less.
Add fun activities – Kids and adults will simply focus on
the buffet table if there’s nothing to do in the party. Incorporate dancing, games
and indoor or outdoor activities that everyone will enjoy.
