It is the holiday season, but “so what?”. Nothing stops you from enjoying the festivities while maintaining balance. The secret lies in specific, actionable tactics like starting your main meal with vegetables and taking family walks after eating.
Christmas lasts two days: the 24th and the 25th. On the 26th, return to your planned meals. To manage the feast days, avoid overloading your plate; the secret is in the quantities.
Hydration is your ally. Drink water throughout the day and alternate alcoholic beverages with water if you choose to drink. For dessert, opt for simpler options like rice pudding or recipes made with olive oil. Finally, do not leave the table set between Christmas and New Year’s it encourages grazing. Clear the food, and you clear the temptation.
