Eat and enjoy without gaining weight this Christmas

During the Christmas season, there is a belief that people gain weight because it is a time when a lot of food is consumed, as many of our favorite dishes are prepared during this period. This is true, as people tend to overeat, and our bodies begin to feel the effects. Therefore, it is important to follow some recommendations to avoid weight gain during the holiday season: - Moderate. The most important key is moderation. We can eat everything but in moderate amounts. - Balance. If we know we will have a delicious and large dinner, it is important to eat light and healthy during the day. This way, the total calories we consume, even if they are higher than normal, won't be excessively high. - Move. If we are eating more than usual, we need to ensure we are burning some calories. Make sure to go for a run or fast walk. Also, incorporate exercise into your daily activities, such as walking more when shopping. If you meet with friends, suggest going skating, bowling, shopping, or doing something that requires movement instead of just gathering to eat. We know that balancing and burning off the calories from many delicious and abundant meals can be complicated, but if you follow these tips in December and January, you will only need to return to normal eating and stay a little active to regain your figure without the need for diets.
