The end of the year is full of parties and celebrations, especially due to the heat of summer. Clubbing, barbecues and trips to the beach can make any healthy routine go down the drain. Mainly because, with so many meetings out of the routine and in a short space of time, it is difficult to resist temptations and maintain a balanced diet.
However, it is necessary to take extra care during gatherings to avoid overdoing it and the consequences for the scale and health in general.

Nutritionist Jaqueline Albino dos Santos, from the Personal Virtual integrated health app, states that, although it seems impossible, it is possible to take advantage of these moments without losing results or deregulating the body. After all, eating what you like is part of a balanced life.
Check out the expert’s tips for surviving the holidays: Opt for lighter foods during the day
To better balance the amount of calories to be consumed during the day, a great tip is to choose lighter foods in the meals before the main one. Just because you’re going off the diet at night, for example, doesn’t mean you need to “kick the bucket” throughout the day.
The nutritionist also reinforces the importance of eating small meals during the day to be well fed and not overindulge. ”By maintaining this care, you guarantee that your metabolism will continue to function correctly and you will be more satiated, not feeling the need to consume a large amount of food during the meal” explains the professional.
Pay attention to quantities
As common as the idea of taking a little bit of each dish is, if there is a very wide variety of foods, this practice can result in an exaggerated portion and, without you realizing it, going beyond the ideal.
Jaqueline suggests that, in order not to deprive yourself of the delights of the holidays, it is interesting to set priorities. That is, select only those dishes that you really like. “One tip is to take a plate and put what you are going to eat and not ‘nibble’, so you don’t lose track of how much you are eating”, she recommends.
Drink a lot of water
Regardless of the moment, water consumption is essential for the functioning of the body. It helps to de-bloat the body and aids in the digestion process, which ends up being more complex due to foods rich in carbohydrates and sugars, popular on party tables, explains the nutritionist.
