New Year's Eve is a magical time. It makes almost all people superstitious, and those, forgetting about their usual beliefs, tend to set the table with the most delicious, refined and hearty dishes. After all, it is believed that if you celebrate the holiday cheerfully and at a table bursting with food, then the year will be well-fed and carefree. However, all this nutritious abundance, which many then eat up more than one day of Christmas holidays, comes around with extra pounds and exhausting diets. Why pay such a high price for pleasure? It is enough to approach the celebration wisely.
Instructions
Step 1
When preparing New Year's Eve dinner, give preference to light meals and snacks. Let them be festive, beautiful, exquisite, but light. Heavy, hearty salads with fatty mayonnaise have no place on the festive table - they are hopelessly outdated. As a last resort, if you are convinced that the New Year simply will not come without "Olivier", replace the mayonnaise in it with sour cream or unsweetened yogurt with a spoonful of mustard.
Step 2
Calculate the number of servings of food you cook according to the number of guests. Eating uneaten food for several days on a festive night is a very bad habit that has a detrimental effect on health and on the figure. Besides, think about it, the shelf life of "Olivier" in the refrigerator is 18 hours. After that, eating your favorite food can have consequences ranging from indigestion to severe poisoning. The same goes for other mayonnaise salads.
Step 3
During the New Year holidays, try to cook every day, not a "pot of borscht for a week." Eat varied and balanced meals, trying to stay away from fried foods and high-calorie delicacies. Walk more, be outdoors, ski and ice skate, have fun in entertainment centers, visit relatives.
Step 4
Do not forget that you can "earn" excess weight in the numerous trips to the guests that happen during the New Year's weekend. Therefore, be vigilant and do not put into your mouth everything that the hospitable and welcoming hosts put on the table. Moreover, among this "everything" there may be that very "Olivier", half-eaten at the festive table. Should you turn your body into a trash can / waste disposal unit just to avoid offending someone?
Step 5
Drink less alcohol. New Year's holidays are closely associated with abundant libations. However, like any other holidays. But these last a week and a half, which is fraught not only with subsequent alcohol delirium, but also overweight. The fact is that alcohol itself is a high-calorie product, and if you add a plentiful snack to it, then the figure can be "made with a pen."
Step 6
During your holidays, find time to visit the bathhouse or sauna once or twice. This is a wonderful pastime that you can enjoy, for example, in the company of friends. In a hot steam room under a birch broom, your freshly picked fat will melt, and along with sweat, all the muck and ailment will leave the body.
