 How to get rid weight gain during the holidays

   

Here are 10 tips to help you regain your pre-holiday weight:

1. Donate surplus food

Look for a disadvantaged family or group that really needs food. You do a good deed and eat less.

Find as many people as possible to share what you have. Not having much food around, the temptation will be reduced and you will eat less.

2. Remove the water

Excess water is eliminated by drastically reducing salt in the diet for a few days and by eating foods low in carbohydrates. So keep a diet of salads, fish, lean and unsalted cheese during this period and avoid sweets and bakery products.

3. Consume plenty of fluids

The first thing you should do when you want to recover from overeating is to drink water in the morning. To avoid dehydration, try to double the amount of caffeinated beverages consumed for a day or two after the end of the overeating period. You do not necessarily need to drink only water for proper hydration, but you can consume fluids from other sources, such as fruits, milk, vegetables, soups, broths.

4. Accelerate your intestinal transit

Eat lots of herbal teas and eat fiber from whole grains, vegetables and fruits. You can include lentils, peas, beans at lunch, which in addition to fiber will also bring you plant-based proteins. But watch out for the gates! They should not exceed a quarter of the lunch plate.

5. Avoid starvation

The first impulse after a period of overeating is to follow a very low calorie diet for a few days. Although such an approach seems very rational at first glance, caloric restriction is a major stress for the body, and this stress most often leads to massive production of cortisol, which in turn leads to catabolism, ie muscle loss.

With too little calorie intake, your metabolism will slow down to instinctively compensate for what appears to be starvation.

6. Consume as much protein as possible

Protein strongly stimulates the metabolism, which will help you burn excess calories. Protein-based meals, compared to those rich in carbohydrates, are much more efficient than burning calories.

7. Get moving

Exercise is the only way you can get rid of fat fast and healthy. Return to the gym or your regular exercise program as soon as possible. If you took a long break, choose a few workouts for beginners or reduce the intensity of the exercises.

 

Do not shock the body with training too hard or too long in the hope that you will burn fat faster during the holidays, because even in this regard the body has a limited capacity.

Toning the abdominal muscles is done with special exercises for the abdomen and posture, which can be done even at home. If the sugar stores have accumulated too much during the holidays, the insulin is turned upside down and fat reserves are formed.

Any type of movement manages to regulate the insulin level, whether you walk, bike, run, dance, do aerobic gymnastics or fitness.

8. Detoxify your body

Maintain a detoxification regimen for a minimum of 3 and a maximum of 6 days. A detox diet is based on many raw vegetables, fruits, whole grains, herbal teas, quality vegetable proteins, such as those from lentils, peas, beans or quinoa, and animal proteins from fish.

9. Massage your belly

Holidays If you do not have the time or money to use professional massage services, you can also try at home. You need to massage your belly clockwise for at least 5 minutes. At the same time, it is recommended to mix bath salt with shower gel and to massage the belly in water, with circular movements. After rinsing, apply a thin layer of anti-cellulite cream.

10. Plan a healthier new year

Write down your nutritional goals for the new year and make an action plan for each of them. Every important victory is based on a strategic plan.

If you have declared war on kilograms and unhealthy eating habits, you must win each battle separately. It takes at least six months for the body to get rid of food addiction, and your mind to apply a new attitude and normal eating behavior in any situation.
