Throughout the year, there are seasons that, due to the number of events and celebrations, can make maintaining a flat stomach a complicated task. Undoubtedly, the December holidays are at the top of this list, but the Easter period can be just as challenging, as many people alter their diet during these days and confuse eating light, due to seafood, with mixing dressings that contain a lot of sugar. That's why we give you some recommendations to avoid getting a belly during the holidays, but without stopping eating delicious food. 

So you don't have to eat only foods that widen your waist and abdomen during these dates, we show you some dishes that will help you stay fit and healthy. These recipes will help you maintain a flat stomach during Easter:

Sweet Potato Salad with Nuts

Foods made with sweet potato as the main ingredient have several benefits. Their caloric content is lower (a medium sweet potato has only 100 calories). Another important point is their high level of vitamin C, which favors fat burning. And, despite being sweet, sweet potatoes have a low glycemic index, meaning they release sugar slowly into the bloodstream, helping to stabilize blood glucose levels. 

Cabbage Soup

With only 199 calories, this is one of the best recipes to maintain a healthy weight or reach your ideal weight. The great secret behind this fabulous soup is the fiber, which keeps you feeling full for longer and helps your body get rid of what it doesn't need. 

Additionally, the well-known cabbage soup diet (“Cabbage Soup Diet”) became very popular in the 80s for being a low-calorie diet. Some people consume it for a maximum of 7 days in a row or less, but you should always consult a specialist. So it's an excellent option to avoid getting a belly during the holidays. 

Egg White Enfrijoladas Filled with Nopales

You should always monitor how much protein you eat, as your body requires .8 grams for every kilogram of weight. This recipe, besides being delicious, provides you with 29.4 grams of protein and 300 calories, and is high in fiber. If you have this dish for breakfast in the morning, we assure you that you won't be tempted to snack on cookies mid-morning.

Homemade Almond Granola

If you want to have a flat stomach, the worst thing you can do is skip breakfast. This will only slow down your metabolism, make you crave less healthy foods, and also cause you to bloat due to gastric acids. Avoid this by having Greek yogurt accompanied by this delicious homemade granola for breakfast.

Grilled Fish

Rich in protein and low in calories, this recipe is perfect for enjoying after a busy Easter day. Besides its energetic content, fish is a light food that is digested more easily than other meats, like beef or pork. If you don't want to look bloated, we suggest you try this recipe.

Chicken and Rice

Quick and easy to prepare, with this recipe you'll feel your stomach full while providing your body with the nutrients it needs. Remember to use olive oil in the preparation as it helps improve digestive processes and, in turn, the absorption of nutrients.

Enjoy an Easter filled with delicious and healthy dishes with these recipes ideal to avoid getting a belly during the holidays.
