1. Don’t forget your basics & foundation: Don’t skip meals to save up for a feast. It will be harder to manage your blood sugar, and you’ll be really hungry and more likely to overeat. Don’t write off full day and deprive our body from nutrients. There for eat your breakfast and lunch as usual.
2. Eat close to your usual times to keep your blood sugar steady. If your meal is served later than normal, eat a small snack at your usual mealtime and eat a little less when dinner is served.
3. At dinner time – choose protein first. Protein is the most satiating macronutrient when compared to carbohydrate and fat. It will help to optimize your blood sugar levels, improve your metabolic efficiency, curb hunger and help you feel fuller for longer.
4. If you plan to have a sweet treat, cut back on other carbs (like potatoes and bread) during the meal.
5. Eat slowly. It takes at least 20 minutes for your brain to realize you’re full. Take a 20min break after a main course before the desert. Being active is your secret holiday weapon! Ideally invite your family and friends to have a little walk outdoors before indulging into the sweet treat. It will help to regulate your blood sugar and will prevent from overeating. If you can take another break after the sweet treat that’s a big win! Most importantly enjoy your food with no regrets! 👉❗But the very next day – let’s get back on track – throw out all junk food leftovers and treats. After the indulging into the sweet treats our craving centers are triggered and tend to bleed into the next day. So do yourself a favor – throw out the leftovers and leave no room for temptation:) It will prevent you from falling off the wagon and will help to stay focused on your goals 💪🦸♀️ Happy Celebration 🥳
