But not all is lost! Here are my life hacks that will help you enjoy the holidays without harming your figure:
1. Start with small portions 🍽️
Before you start a festive meal, fill your plate with a small amount. It is better to do several approaches than to fill it to the brim the first time. This helps to control the amount of food without depriving yourself of taste.
2. Drink more water 💧
We often confuse hunger and thirst. Before taking a second piece of cake or snack, drink a glass of water. This not only helps reduce appetite, but also supports metabolism.
3. Move even on holidays 🏃‍♀️
It is not necessary to go to the gym every day. You can arrange a short morning jog, a walk in the fresh air or do exercises at home. Movement helps burn calories and maintain mood.
4. Choose quality foods 🥗
If there is a choice between high-calorie pastries and fruits or nuts, try to balance. Let the holidays be delicious, but without harm to your health.
5. Listen to your body 🧘‍♀️
Learn to feel full. Often we eat simply because "the holiday is once a year." Stop, try to feel: do you really want more?
Holidays are a time of joy, not stress because of extra pounds. Enjoy the moment, but remember that small rules will help you stay in shape and not be upset after the holidays.
💖 And remember: the main thing is balance, not a complete refusal of your favorite treats.
