It is common to eat a little more than usual during the December holidays. According to various nutritionists, it is advisable to enjoy all foods, but in moderation.

That's why we give you some tips to stay fit without depriving yourself of the delicious dishes available during this season:

1. Always have breakfast. If you think that fasting will be better to eat more in the afternoon and/or evening, you are gravely mistaken because instead of eating moderately, you will consume more food due to the previous lack of food, and this will lead to weight gain.
2. Eat everything. The key is not to overindulge in anything. Choose more fruits and vegetables; preferably use small containers to consume less food.
3. Take your time to eat. Nutritionists recommend that each bite be chewed an average of 20 times for better digestion. This allows the brain to signal that you are full and consequently not overeat.
4. Drink 2.5 liters of water. This, in addition to cleansing your body and eliminating excess toxins, will help you feel satisfied and prevent you from snacking between meals. It is recommended to drink a glass or two of water before starting to consume alcoholic beverages.
5. Exercise every day. A good option is to dance.
6. Consume low-fat foods. Preferably say yes to fish and turkey for their low caloric content.
7. Consume very little salt and if possible, avoid it.
8. Do not repeat dishes.
9. Eat half of the dessert you are given, to avoid extra calories.
10. Prefer low-calorie soft drinks over regular ones, as they contain double the sugar. View original article Article courtesy of
