It is difficult to imagine holidays without a tasty treat, especially when it comes to the New Year. The hostesses prepare for this holiday in advance, trying to surprise loved ones with delicious and varied dishes. That is why not eating much for the holidays is difficult, but possible.
Instructions
Step 1
Do not sit down at the table hungry, it is better to have a light meal before the celebration. Place one spoonful of the dishes you want to try on your plate. Don't add additives.
Step 2
Don't eat bread. There is a sufficient number of dishes on the festive table so as not to overload the stomach with excess carbohydrates.
Step 3
Avoid dense side dishes, they may well be replaced by salads. Therefore, mashed potatoes, so beloved by many, can be left for other holidays.
Step 4
Leave the pastry tasting the next day. Quite often, a piece of fatty cake eaten after a hearty meal is superfluous. If a meal without sweets seems less festive, give preference to light desserts based on fruits, soufflé or ice cream.
Step 5
To avoid overeating on New Years, plan your celebration in such a way that you can leave the table. It can be active outdoor games, home contests or quizzes, just walking down the street. So calories will be spent more actively, and there will be much less time for eating.
Step 6
Do not overuse alcohol, they whet the appetite, which is why you lose control over the amount of food eaten.
