There are certain times of the year when you just can’t stop yourself from having lavish food. You want to have it all as there are plenty of options and the temptation of the roasted meats, mashed potatoes and many yummy desserts makes healthy eating impossible. With such foods around you to woo you to break that healthy eating vow but here are a few options to maintain your diet while enjoying the celebrations too. Here we have the tips for healthy eating on Christmas and how to avoid extra calorie intake.
A glass of red wine
Try having a glass of red wine with your dinner on Christmas. With its high resveratrol content in it helps fight against cancer and heart diseases. Having a glass also gives you the required healthy resveratrol.
Have a cup of tea
Tea has anti-oxidants in it and fills your stomach making you eat less as you already feel full, this is helpful in avoiding extra calories intake at parties where things are too tempting for you to avoid.
Drink plenty of water
Make sure to hydrate yourself as much as you can as when you are hydrated you do not feel hungry often.
No to two BIG meals a day
If you have to attend two parties in a day then avoid having a fat meal both the times. Take some salad once and heavier food in at one event.
No tempting over desserts
Sweets and desserts are common on Christmas Eve, as tempting as those pies and cakes look, over doing them can be injurious to the health. Set goals accordingly for following a healthy diet.
Fill your plate with healthy options
Instead of heading towards a fat filled diet, fill your plate with some healthier options. Choose some lean turkey and the options you know won’t hurt your calorie intake boundaries.
Satisfy with just tasting
Christmas comes with many options from starters to desserts. But for those who want to eat healthy, less quantity is the way to go this season!
Exercise
It is the festival month, but keep a track of your daily exercise routine to make sure Christmas doesn’t stop you from attaining the perfect body!
