Weight Loss: 7 Ways to Avoid Overeating During Festive Festivities

Diwali is here and so it’s time for more celebrations! However, it is important to control our diet and avoid discomfort after the celebration.

Tis the season of joy! There is a festive atmosphere everywhere with traditional delicacies on the best crockery, decorated houses, the influx of sweet and savory snacks and much more. One thing that often takes a back seat is our fitness. Post Diwali blues can be real and our health can speak for it later after all the bingeing and overeating.

The holidays are a time of celebration and enjoyment, in which food often plays a central role. However, at this time of year it can be easy to overeat, especially with all the delicious food available. Here are a few tips to avoid overeating during the holidays

Weight loss: tips to prevent overeating

1. Eat regular meals and snacks throughout the day: This will help keep your blood sugar levels stable and prevent you from becoming too hungry. Aim to eat three balanced meals and two healthy snacks per day.
2. Choose healthy snacks: When choosing snacks, choose healthy options such as fruits, vegetables, nuts and yogurt. Avoid processed snacks and sugary drinks, which can lead to overeating and weight gain.
3. Don’t arrive at parties hungry: If you arrive at a party hungry, you are more likely to overeat. Eat a light snack before going to a party to help you feel full and satisfied.
4. Be selective about what you eat: When there are many foods to choose from, it can be helpful to be selective about what you eat. Choose foods that you love and that are worth the calories. Avoid eating foods that you don’t really like or that aren’t worth the calories.
5. Conscious eating: By using smaller plates and bowls, you can eat less without even realizing it. This is because our brains tend to perceive that we are eating more food when we use larger plates and bowls. Be careful with portion size
6. Slow down and enjoy your food: If you eat quickly, you are more likely to overeat. Slow down and enjoy your food so you can enjoy the taste and texture of your food. It also takes your brain about 20 minutes to register that you’re full, so eating slowly gives your brain time to catch up.
7. Drink a lot of water: Staying hydrated can help reduce your appetite and keep you feeling full. Try to drink eight glasses of water a day.

It is important to listen to what our body says. If we pay attention, we can understand whether or not we should push our body beyond a limit. By taking a number of things into account during festive celebrations, we can reduce the discomfort after the celebration.

Happy and healthy Diwali!
