Every year, it's the same: you dread the gourmet holiday marathon, its tons of chocolate and good dishes in sauce, you swallow meal after meal between two glasses of champagne. Except that according to food specialists, the holiday season is not the right time for this kind of "diet" ... What are the slimming habits not to do during the holiday season?
- We do not diet before!
According to Valérie Espinasse, nutritionist, if you deprive yourself before the holidays, you risk storing everything during!
- We do not deprive ourselves during!
From deprivation comes the temptation and the risk of melting in the middle of the night on the remains of frozen logs. So we use reasonably everything, and if you could prefer crustaceans instead of slices of foie gras, the detox that will follow will be less harsh!
- We do not jump above all meals!
You wanted to avoid your great-uncle Gerard and skip the lunch of the 25th? Bad idea: skipping a meal is probably the worst slimming habit ever. Your hungry body stores everything you swallow at the meal that follows.
- We do not replace the dishes with champagne!
Although it is among the least caloric alcohol, it is not advisable to replace the dishes (even caloric) with champagne! The harmful effects of alcohol on the body are real and the detox after parties will be all the more difficult.
- We avoid at all costs nibbling!
Nibbling is never advisable. Well during the holidays, it's worse. No, to chocolates in the middle of the afternoon to accompany the coffee. No to the appetizers that drag on in the preamble of meals ... We channel ourselves to taste the turkey, and we give up the sweets of the day.
