As we leave another year behind, we set new goals and make new decisions. Losing weight is one of our main goals. Reaching the ideal weight until the New Year's Eve, maintaining our weight on New Year's Eve and getting rid of the weight we gained after the celebrations with various kinds of food... It is enough to follow some suggestions to enjoy this process without worrying about your weight. diets are applied. Although it seems to be effective in a short time, it causes your metabolism to slow down and you face more weight problems in the future. Therefore, my first suggestion is to stay away from such diets and reach the ideal weight with healthy eating methods. For this, you can start the day with a balanced breakfast consisting of complex carbohydrates, proteins and healthy fats. Starting the day with a breakfast plate consisting of boiled eggs, cheese, olives or walnuts, whole wheat bread and seasonal greens helps control weight by eating less during the day. After the day, the thing you need to be careful about is not to skip meals. Contrary to popular belief, main and snack meals made with portion control do not make you gain weight, on the contrary, it prevents you from eating late by providing appetite control. You can consume 3 main meals a day and 1-3 snacks according to your needs. Between the main meals should be 4-5 hours. A snack consisting of fruit and oil seeds can be made 2-2.5 hours after the main meals. A meal with oats, yoghurt and fresh fruit for lunch will not only provide satiety, but will also make your intestines work with fiber intake. As the New Year's Eve approaches, consuming a light evening meal will also be very effective for those who want to get rid of the problem of weight and edema. In the evening, you can create a light meal with a bowl of yogurt and whole wheat bread in addition to the vegetable meal. On some days, plenty of salad can be preferred alongside an oven or grilled meat dish made from lean parts of the meat.
These suggestions are also valid for the day after New Year's Eve. The point to be considered especially after New Year's Eve is the consumption of plenty of water. You may have lost water in your body due to alcohol consumption on New Year's Eve. Therefore, drink plenty of water the next day. hand. In addition, taking a pleasant walk today will both balance the calories you received from the previous day and make a good start to the year. Those who want to lose weight shortly before the New Year's Eve, of course, should restrict some foods. You should stay away from sweets and pastries that contain white flour, sugar, and lots of fat. Packaged junk foods cause you to take high calories without realizing it and make you edema. You can reach your goal in a healthy way by avoiding such foods.
Which Foods are Consumed in the New Year's Diet?
Some foods should be included on the table in order to reach ideal weight and prevent weight gain until New Year's Eve, New Year's Eve and after New Year's Eve.
• Raw vegetables: Consuming dark green leafy cold cuts such as parsley and arugula for breakfast, and consuming a large bowl of salad consisting of greens and red-purple vegetables at lunch and dinner will provide appetite control. It is one of the most effective methods to prevent you from overeating. In addition, by meeting the amount of vitamins, minerals and antioxidants we need during the day, we both protect our immunity in cold winter days and prevent us from feeling sluggish during the diet. Again, thanks to minerals such as potassium and magnesium, and nutrients such as water and fiber, we will be protected from edema. A point to be considered when it comes to edema is to avoid adding salt to your salads. Since the amount of salt we get from meals during the day is sufficient, adding additional salt to salads causes edema in the body.
• Protein-rich foods: The first thing that comes to mind when protein-rich foods are mentioned, eggs should definitely take their place in breakfast. Albumin in egg white is one of the main enemies of edema. There are also experiences showing that eggs eaten for breakfast reduce appetite during the day. You can include eggs for breakfast either to lose weight until the New Year's Eve or to maintain weight. Apart from eggs, lean parts of red meat, chicken, turkey or fish meat are also quality products. It is a source of protein and can be preferred in this process. Baked turkey meat on New Year's Eve is a good choice, it does not cause you to gain weight. After the food we take in during the day is digested, heat energy is released in the body, and the metabolic rate increases. This is called “the thermic effect of food”. The thermic effect of proteins is much greater than carbohydrates or fats, so they are much more effective in accelerating metabolism. Consuming protein-rich foods accelerates your metabolism, allowing you to burn more calories, and accelerating your weight loss process.
• Plenty of water: When our goal is to lose weight, even though we pay attention to what we eat during the day, water consumption is generally ignored. However, the main goal should be adequate water consumption, both in protecting general health, in the process of burning fat and in getting rid of edema. The body needs water in order for all the systems in our body to work effectively, to speed up the metabolism for fat burning and to get rid of edema. Consumption of 35 ml of water per your daily weight will be sufficient. For those who have difficulty consuming this amount, foods such as lemon juice and mint can be added to the water. Since the smell of mint can also have an appetite suppressant effect, it can also prevent you from overeating during the day.
What should be avoided in the New Year's Diet?
Consuming certain foods can get in the way of your weight loss goals before and after Christmas. You may need to remove some foods from your diet shortly before New Year's Eve. Packaged junk foods contain high amounts of fat, sugar, salt, and simple carbohydrates. In fact, even if you think that you are eating a small amount, you will get high calories. For this reason, you should take care not to consume such foods in order to get rid of both health and fat and edema. Pastries and desserts made of white flour should also not be consumed during this period. Although high salt consumption does not directly cause you to gain weight
, it causes you to spend New Year's Eve with edema. Alcohol consumption should also be avoided until New Year's Eve. ;
When all these suggestions are taken into account, it is possible to lose weight in a healthy way without disturbing the functioning of your metabolism. The most important thing is to stay away from excessively restrictive diets in order to lose weight in a short time and enjoy New Year's Eve.
