How to avoid gaining weight this Christmas: nine tricks to save calories

 

If you do not want to continue adding numbers to the scale, you must follow some tricks of intelligent people that will hardly take any effort

This 2020 we finished it different, and especially fatter. Here are the statistics: on average, each Spaniard has taken between 1 and 3 kilos. A few grams that added to those of the summer and those that we will take at Christmas will force us to go for new clothes - and bigger - when the busy social life returns.

These parties are going to be different, like everything else, but the wearier of life, the more we eat. In fact, according to the Spanish Society of Endocrinology and Nutrition (SEEN), Spaniards tend to gain between two and four kilos on these dates due to excessive calorie consumption.

However, reader, there are certain tricks that we can apply so as not to end up like the Kiko at the end of the year.

1) Be aware of what you eat

If you sit at the table with the mentality of "well, a day is a day" or "once a year does not hurt" you will ingest uncontrollably during lunch or dinner. The worst thing is that it will whet your appetite and you will end this lazy dynamic from Christmas Eve to Three Kings Day. The roscón will save you from closing the cycle, but it will already be too late because you will already have the fat impregnated in the body. Ideally, you sit at the table being aware of each food or substitute that you put in your mouth. You don't have to stress or deprive yourself too much, but you do have to have some control.

2) To drink: water

The family reunions are being better with alcohol in the body, and more this year. Although wine does not have many calories (each glass is about 75 kcal), it does whet our appetite and makes us eat more (in addition, all of us here here know that when you already have a few glasses of wine, you should eat something). Therefore, reader, it is good that if you want to drink, you have a couple of glasses, although the best, without a doubt, is to drink water.

3) Eat your Christmas sweets in the morning

A good tip is to save the sweet you want and eat it for breakfast. The calories will be the same, but if you eat it in the morning you will have a much greater chance of burning it (and, therefore, not turning it into fat) when the day is over. At dinners say no to the candy tray.

4) Say yes to seafood, meat and fish

On these dates lamb, fish or seafood is usually served, and you do well to eat it. Proteins, as we've always told you, are good because they fill you up and speed up your metabolism.

We recently told you about the benefits of seafood: that it is healthy and that it hardly makes us fat. Seafood is low in calories and rich sources of lean protein, healthy fats, and contains many micronutrients. For 85 grams of seafood (less than half a cup, approximately), we will consume about 70 calories.

5) Little and everything

Besides being aware and not getting carried away by the "lost to the river", his thing is to eat everything but little. If you feel like you can't eat up to a limit, you will get anxious and you will end up eating more. It is about taking a little here and a little there, avoiding carbohydrates above all.

6) Snack between meals so as not to devour later

Ideally, you should get a bag of nuts and a good arsenal of fruits for mid-morning and mid-afternoon, so you do not arrive very hungry for Christmas meals and thus have more restraint.

Remember that walnuts contain protein, healthy fats, and fiber, which contribute to their good influence on body weight. They also contain heart-healthy fats and other beneficial nutrients. Of course, you have to eat them in moderation, as they have 'quite a few' calories.

 

A handful (28 grams) contains approximately 170 calories, so that would be enough to go between meals. In addition, its consumption is linked to weight loss, since numerous studies have shown that eating nuts can improve metabolic health and even promote weight loss.

As for fruits, you can eat up to two pieces at mid-morning and mid-afternoon. If you are overweight or do not want to gain weight, here we tell you which are the six most dietary ones.

7) Make up before and after

The balance is the trick. If you know that on the 25th you are going to get up, try on the 26th to eat a green salad and have a light dinner. And the same happens with the days preceding the feasts or Christmas dinners. It is not a matter of walking these days with the calorimeter on, but being aware that in the end we will gain one kilo if we have 7,000 more kcal accumulated in the body.

8) Drink water throughout the day

We know that is what everyone says, but you need to drink more water, especially if you don't want to get fat at Christmas, since the fuller you have your stomach, the less food you want to put in it. And the water has zero calories.

In this regard, an investigation published in the 'American Journal of Clinical Nutrition' showed that water intake increased dietary effects. The experts came to this conclusion after analyzing 5,000 references from four databases of scientific articles that linked water consumption with weight loss.

9) Get some exercise at home or go for a walk

You can try easy exercises at home, like the ones we tell you here, or follow a burst-based trick. A research published in the journal Physiological Reports showed that people who conducted five 30 - second bursts of high - impact exercise followed four minutes of rest, they burned 200 extra calories per day. That is, you only need to do 2.5 minutes of exercise to speed up your metabolism.

If this does not convince you, you can choose to go for a walk before and after meals, as this will speed up your metabolism. Walking at a slow pace of 1.5 km / hour consumes about 100 calories. That is to say, almost a whole polvorón. The more you move, the more calories you’ll burn and the less you'll have to regret later.

Sudden Blindness is a condition when you suddenly find it difficult to see. People think that sudden vision loss is the same as complete blindness. However, they are not the same. You might experience blurry vision.
