Holidays, an extended cheat day?

Holidays, an extended cheat day?

I think we all raised the issue of extra pounds after the generous holiday meals.
Most of the time the plan to return to a balanced diet does not work.
What can you do in this situation?
It outlines a state of alarm just before the start of the festive meal, and then it’s
time to start putting food restrictions … my mind apologizes but also reasons: “I’ll
taste just a little of each”, “I wont touch that specific tipe of food… ”or I already
start during the feast to elaborate a plan for the next days when the high-calorie meals
will end.
This only makes the situation more difficult, instead of enjoying our favorite food in a
balanced way we will attract the exact opposite … the scenarios will make you eat
excessively causing a state of discomfort, bloating, fatigue.
Another mistake is to shorten the usual meals before the festive meal to compensate or
to follow during the activity all kinds of messages with references to the diet on
social networks.
Therefore, even if you have overdone on holidays, it is not recommended to weigh
yourself immediately after, because it is not a real weight, there may be water
retention from inappropriate combinations of fats and carbohydrates or due to large
amounts of food ingested.

So what to do next?
• Diets with vegetable and / or fruit juices or those low in calories and nutrients, or
diets with one meal a day should be avoided. They may not help you lose weight and your
body will be weakened and you may return to another diet to compensate.
• It is recommended to make a balanced plan with 3 main meals or 3 meals and 2 small
snacks (from fresh fruits or nuts / seeds, yogurt with probiotics)
• Main meals should contain foods rich in quality macronutrients (protein, complex
carbohydrates and less fat-preferably vegetables);
• Choose a lean protein – from white meat, fish, eggs and avoid red meat – if you have
abused it in previous days;
• Add lots and lots of vegetables and fruits – they are rich in fiber, antioxidants,
vitamins and minerals. Especially green leafy vegetables have a high potassium content
and regulate water retention in the body.
• Avoid processed, salty foods, or those that contain excess sugar
• Avoid carbonated drinks with artificial sugar / sweeteners and those with a high
caffeine or alcohol content;
• Hydrate properly!
• A very important factor is sports, it speeds up the metabolism and also the weight
loss process – choose the type of training that suits you and for which you have the
necessary physical training or seek the advice of a specialist.
• You can include in this routine natural supplements with vitamins and minerals from
plants, antioxidants, probiotics and fiber that will help you in the process of losing
weight, detoxifying and maintaining the balance of the whole body.
www.F17.ro is about balance, so in our list of supplements you can find some dietary
supplements that can help you in the rebalancing process, either with the help of our
ranges of vitamins 5 Htp, Multi vitamin or ZMA Magnesium ZMA complex.
So listen to the needs of the body, do not bring extra stress through restrictive diets,
choose a diet with regular meals and rich in nutrients.
Even if you happen to step crookedly, do not punish yourself, accept, rejoice and go
ahead with the established plan; do sports for pleasure, do not exhaust yourself to
consume the energy accumulated from excess food.
Enjoy the trial!
