Easter is approaching, which means many are already rubbing their hands, imagining how they will “knead” the Easter cakes. But after such “delicious” holidays you can’t look at yourself in the mirror without tears. Endocrinologist Tatyana Frolova told Gazeta.Ru (18+) how to avoid gaining weight.
The first thing to remember is that skipping breakfast, lunch or dinner is a bad idea. Regular meals reduce the risk of overeating sweets.
Second, Easter treats should not exceed 15-20% of your daily calories. This is enough to enjoy the holiday without consequences for your figure.
Adopt the “Harvard Plate” method: half are vegetables or greens, a quarter is protein (for Easter this is eggs), another quarter is carbohydrates. Balance helps control appetite.
Let’s say you understand that one piece of Easter cake definitely won’t stop you. Then simply cut back on other carbs at that meal—and enjoy dessert guilt-free.
Overeating happened? Don’t try to “work off” the excess by fasting or exercising. This approach only provokes a new breakdown. Just smoothly return to your usual diet – without stress and extremes.
