8 tips to enter the new year without gaining weight

The fear of gaining excessive weight is seen in every adult individual.

Experts have listed what needs to be done to enter the new year without gaining weight.

MAKE BREAKFAST PROTEIN AND VEGETABLE-HEAVY

"You might want to skip breakfast to eat comfortably in the evening, but this will lead to sudden fluctuations in blood sugar. To keep our appetite under control, breakfast must be eaten; a meal consisting of eggs, low-fat cheese, avocado, plenty of seasonal vegetables, and a slice of bread if needed is an ideal example. It will keep you full and, especially thanks to the avocado and vegetables, it will be a good anti-inflammatory menu."

DO NOT SNACK DURING THE DAY

"If we can create a nutritional routine with a high level of attention for 2-3 days starting from December 29th at the latest, there will be less feeling of regret on the night we enter the new year. This way, we will be able to taste what we want with peace of mind. This does not mean we should stuff ourselves with everything that night. Making a plate of our favorite things would be ideal."

AVOID OVEREATING

"It is important to spread out what we eat over time. It will be easier to control the amount in meals eaten slowly and spread over time. At the same time, since time will be gained for a feeling of satiety to form, the amount will also decrease. However, the most important point is not what is eaten, but rather not to overdo it."

LEAVE FOODS YOU THINK CAUSE BLOATING OFF THE MENU

"Independent of calories, for example, you may have a gluten sensitivity, but you are not at a point where you have trouble consuming it. If you only feel bloated when you eat it, determine your menu accordingly. A basmati rice pilaf with plenty of vegetables instead of bulgur might make you feel much better. If you have a lactose sensitivity, you can make your appetizers with lactose-free yogurt.

If you have a sensitivity to milk, you can use plant-based milks when making your cakes and pastries. In addition to these, if you consume plenty of water, you will have less of a feeling of bloating the next day, and you will experience less panic about gaining weight."

CONSUME UNROASTED RAW NUTS

"Especially during pleasant conversations, nut consumption increases without realizing it. To prevent this, taking only the amount you need to consume with you will prevent you from losing control. Furthermore, because it is healthier, it would be a good choice to consume unroasted, raw nuts if possible."

INCREASE YOUR MOVEMENT

"Especially trying to move more than usual in the last week of the year will help your metabolism stay active. It is beneficial not to spend days with invitations without exercise. To achieve a calorie deficit, keeping the burned calories at a certain level will be to your advantage."

SALAD AND VEGETABLES FOR EASY DIGESTION

"Also, consuming only one of the carbohydrate-rich foods such as rice, pasta, soup, or bread will be important for balance. If there is a wide variety of dishes, try to consume only your favorites. For example, if there are multiple types of fruit, choose the one you like the most. Show this care for all food groups. Instead of pastries or syrupy desserts, prefer lighter milk-based desserts."

LIMIT CARBONATED DRINKS

"Since the focus is mostly on food, drinks can be overlooked. This causes the amount of calories taken throughout the night to increase. For this reason, do not consume carbonated drinks if possible. Use your preference for water. If you are drinking alcohol, limit it and consume plenty of water during the day, throughout the night, and the next day. Consuming plenty of water will reduce the effect of dehydration that the alcohol consumed will cause."
