1) Merely a difference a day
Allow yourself only a small piece of a cake or a piece of candy a day during the holidays. Remember that you will need to compensate later in the day for these small differences, reducing the total calories or by burning a few calories in excess of physical exercise.
2) Never go to a party hungry
One of the worst things you can do is to skip meals throughout the day (breakfast, lunch, dinner) to keep the hungry to swallow all foods in large amounts at a party (party , pot, etc..). Take snacks with nutrients such as fruit, cut vegetables, yogurt, granola bars with peanut butter or a glass of skim milk before going to the party. In this way, you get the satisfaction entering the festival while treating yourself to small portions of food without overeating.
3) Plan and bring a low calorie dish with you
Suggest to friends who organize a festival to bring a dish. Make sure it is low in calories (fruits, vegetables or other foods low in calories). If the host does not want you to bring it back a dish, choose the planning process. Make a mentally healthy food (fruits, vegetables, lean viandres without sauce or cream based soup, etc..).
Plan to fill your plate with these foods first, then add a few bits of other dishes high in calories. Once you have filled your plate, leave the place where you take food, sit back and enjoy yourself. Wait 20 to 30 minutes before eventually fetch another plate, and so on. Do not overload your plate like.
4) Saying no politely
Often you feel obliged to (e) to eat food because people put them in front of you. Learn to say no politely, as “No thank you, I’ve taken enough. Everything was delicious” or “I really can not eat another piece. All the dishes were wonderful.
