The Christmas holidays often leave their mark on the scale: the consumption of alcohol, foods with high calorie content, abusive snacking and the abundance of foods with sugar are some of the classics of Christmas.
This lack of food control produces a nutritional imbalance, and it is necessary to be more strict with good habits but in an appropriate way. Many people want to lose weight gained in this period in two days and mistakes are often made such as the use of strict and uncontrolled diets that usually end in a "yoyo effect".
So, how do you combat the effect of Christmas?
From CIME Clinic he gives you these tips:
- Our main and most important advice is to visit a specialist doctor so that he can study what the needs of each one are and, based on this anthropometric study, create a nutritional plan adapted to your schedules, your needs and your tastes.
- It is forbidden to weigh ourselves every day, we do not have to obsess, we cannot pretend that the excess weight that we have gained in 20 days, miraculously disappear in two days.
- Stopping eating is not the solution. Our body needs to eat to be able to live, stopping eating will only achieve a rebound effect in the long run, the important thing is to eat well, controlling the amounts and times of meals.
- Think well before making a wrong decision, we must avoid eating the remaining sweets of these holidays before a moment of "anxiety", make a good healthy purchase and eliminate everything that makes us fall into temptation.
- Drinking 1.5 liters of water a day helps the body to purify and promote the elimination of liquids.
- Doing sports regularly, it is not necessary to go to the gym strictly, but physical activity is necessary to be in shape and achieve a healthier and more toned body. Swimming, running, or brisk walking for 1 hour a day may be the best options.
It is very important to keep our diet in mind to take care of our health.
