Diet tips to follow on Festival season:

Don't eat everything in front of you

Just because your mom made halwa, puri, butter chicken, biryani, etc., it is not mandatory that you have to eat all of them. Even if you want to have them than to sit with guests and eat, try eating the little amount of each item for once and keep doing it with everyone. So one thing at a time that too in a small quantity.

Compulsory Walk

Even if you cannot go to the gym make sure that you at least go for a walk. In the morning or maybe in the evening for 10 to 20 minutes. You can even do a workout with your friends who are in town like meeting all of them early in the morning to do some light exercises. This will serve two purposes, one you will be able to spend quality with them, and two you will do the necessary exercise as well.

Don't ruin family plans

Make it clear that you cannot be on the dieting mode during the festive time. A substantial meal once a day won't affect your waistline much. Don't stuff yourself excessively but try to eat in control. I know the temptations are hard to resist but at least try. If you gain, you can lose it too but the moments with your family will never come back again.

Booze with Food

If you are consuming alcohol on an empty stomach then my dear friend you are putting your stomach on fire. This can be your wildest adventure ever. Eat well before or after drinking don't starve. If you sleep on an empty stomach, then it is possible that you will have to throw the worst hangover ever. Enjoying at the stake of your health is a bad idea.

Eat what you like

Controlling is an art that is to be mastered. When you go to a party or visit some distant relatives do a little survey. Accept it that you cannot eat everything in one sitting so choose for yourself. See the items which will satisfy your stomach and your heart at the same time. Select the drink which you like. Don't just mindlessly gulp things down.

Satisfy your sweet tooth with some break

After eating the delicious feast eat the dessert after some time says approximately after 20 minutes. Go for a short walk, or maybe you can sway for some time on the party tunes. The food that you just ate will get some time to settle down, and the sugar levels of your body will be back to normal.

Detoxification is vital

The festive season is jam-packed with heavy food. So to balance the after-effects of the food eat things which will help you with digestion. See to it that you eat food that is healthy like oats, fruits, etc. for at least one time in a day. I hope you don't want to fall ill so ensure that by eating power-packed items as well.
