During the Christmas and New Year celebrations, many people gain weight, which doesn't mean it has to happen to you. Usually, we can eat everything, and what we need to do is monitor the portions we consume, mainly of foods that tend to make us gain weight. For those who are trying to manage their weight or are on a diet, it is important to be cautious about consuming the following foods during Christmas: - Rompope. It is a calorie-rich drink because it contains a lot of sugar and eggs. - Tamales. This food has a lot of fat, so it is important to eat them in moderation or avoid them. - Fried foods. Avoiding fried foods helps save many calories, which can be used to eat other things you like. - Pork. This food has a lot of saturated fat, so it's important to consider choosing another type of meat. - Cookies. Christmas cookies are delicious and tempting, but they lack nutrients and are high in fat and sugar. Consume them in moderation. - Flan and similar desserts. It is important to consume them in moderation because they are high in calories. - Tiramisu and other cheese-rich foods. Although cheese has calcium, it also has a lot of fat. Consume them in moderation. - Sodas. Preferably avoid these drinks and choose fresh waters or natural water. - Alcoholic beverages. Try to avoid sugary cocktails, especially piña coladas. Prefer a drink on the rocks, light beer, and, the best option, a glass of wine. For every alcoholic drink, have a glass of water.
