How to return harmony after the holidays

Holidays flew, as if they were not! And for memory were photos, pleasant memories and a small modest gift - excess weight. Unlike memories and photos, this gift does not please us at all! No problem - we will quickly fix it!

Why is it hard to eat less after the holidays?

Many people ask this question. It seems that everything was fine before the holidays - ate 3 times a day, snacks did not happen every hour, but after the holidays something incredible happened! The food so asks to be eaten, and we continually catch ourselves on the fact that again we chew something! And the point here is this: our stomach is a bag of muscles. Muscles, as is known, have the property of stretching. Here is our stomach and stretched out during the holidays - we could not refuse grandmother's pies, my mother's baked chicken, girl's cake. Do not blame yourself - you deserve all these goodies! Simply now you need to help the stomach a little, so that it will get its original size.

How to get rid of the collected kilos without hassle?

In order to reduce the size of the stomach, we need a comprehensive approach to nutrition. These few changes in the diet regime will help us not only to regain the former weight, but even to become even slimmer.

  1. All the most delicious - the next morning! If you can not deny yourself a sweet, fat - eat it for health, but only in the morning, until noon. After breakfast, you have a whole day ahead, so the maximum number of calories that you allow yourself in the morning, without much effort, will be wasted on work.
  2. We remove far bigger plates, we put smaller ones closer. By reducing the amount of food, we can reduce the amount of calories in this way. But you do not have to look with longing for salad with fat mayonnaise and stew!
  3. Such small portions can hardly be eaten. Nothing, we will now eat more often - not 3 times a day, but 5-6, every 2-3 hours! Our task is to reduce the volume of the stomach, and small portions - this is exactly what you need!
  4. Separate water, separate food. Now we will not drink tea after eating and drink down the food with juice. This way of absorbing food only stretches the stomach! Tea, milk, coffee, compote will now be for us an independent food, separated into a separate reception. By the way, we will drink more now - so that the harmful substances that we ate along with the "yummies" were washed out. Drink at least 2 liters of water a day, of course, if you do not have contraindications. Those who suffer from kidney disease or metabolic disorders, it is better to clarify the daily rate of water in the doctor.
  5. We carefully monitor the diet. We do not combine proteins and carbohydrates in one dish. The fact is that proteins and carbohydrates interfere with the assimilation of each other, if they are in the stomach at the same time. And this means that we will no longer eat porridge, potatoes and pasta with meat and fish. It will be more correct to supplement any of these products with fruits or vegetables: we will decorate the sweet porridge with strawberries and pieces of apricots; unsweetened porridge add sweet pepper; to a potato we will give salad from cucumbers and tomatoes; Pasta is put out in tomato sauce, adding sweet pepper, onions, carrots and greens; to the meat and fish we will serve colored or white cabbage.
  6. We reduce the caloric content of the dishes: fatty meat will be replaced by lean; potatoes are replaced with cabbage - any, at your discretion; sweet juices diluted with water.

And what else?

And we will try to go out for walks more often! Walking promotes the release and cleavage of fats - the very ones that pretty cushions have been deposited on our sides and on our stomachs. Yes, it was walking, not running! If you have never thought to walk, then start with 15-20 minutes of walking, and if you are already an experienced walker, then you can walk for 30-40 minutes a day. Do not dissuade employment! Change from your cozy car to public transport and leave after work one stop earlier - here's your planned walk!


If you have such an opportunity, immerse yourself in the work with the head, find interest in it, and if you can not do it, then try to find an interesting lesson for yourself. It is noticed that when a person is busy with something interesting (not a TV and a book, but with his hands!), He forgets about food! Print documents, knit napkins, dismantle archives with pleasure!

And most importantly - do not blame and do not punish yourself for having gained a few pounds. This is the most incorrect of all that you can do! Yes, you relaxed a little more on holidays than planned. So, you underestimated your fatigue, the desire to please yourself. Next time you will certainly survive the holidays without extra pounds, and now just enjoy life and slender with pleasure!
