3 tips to limit weight gain during the holidays
Make the right choices at the restaurant : avoid dishes with names accompanied by the adjectives “pan-fried, crunchy, coated, donut, au gratin, marinated, marinade, smoked, breaded, in brine, in juice, in teriyaki, in broth”. These dishes contain a lot of fat, sugar and salt. On the other hand, names with the expressions “grilled, steamed, poached, on the grill and baked” are to be preferred.
Avoid Compensatory Behaviors : one can be led to have compensatory behaviors, such as excessive restriction before or after a meal in the restaurant for example, leading to cycles of restriction and overeating, which ultimately disrupts the caloric balance and leads to weight gain . Guilt can also trigger stress, which in turn can lead to increased production of cortisol, a hormone associated with weight gain, especially in the abdominal region. So let’s let go! These weeks of vacation are an integral part of the balanced diet.
Resuming your usual routine when you return from vacation : If you’ve gained a few pounds after your weeks vacation, don’t panic! Part of this weight is often water because with the heat the retention is increased. Resume your routines and habits quite naturally without a “compensatory” attitude or a strict diet to make up for “excesses”. You can also give your metabolism a little boost by starting a cure of prebiotics, perfect for nourishing the microbiota and regaining better digestion.
