TIPS ON HOW TO AVOID WEIGHT GAIN THIS HOLIDAY SEASON

   Christmas and New year celebration involves partying with a lot to eat and drink. During holiday, people tend to easily gain weight due to increase and uncontrolled food consumption. There are ways  you can eat and not gain weight this holiday season.
  Avoid skipping breakfast and lunch before going for a dinner party, as this will cause you to be very hungry and eat indiscriminately. Start your dinner with drinking plenty of water and broth based soup, no oils. Then move on to eating vegetables, salads and fruits . Fill up with proteins rich foods, if possible choose animal free alternatives like lentils and beans. After eating all the foods mentioned above, you may not be able to eat a lot of carbohydrates and foods that contain sugar. Eat slowly and chew your food very well. The quicker we eat, the lesser the time the body has to register fullness. Serve  meals in small plates, this will make you eat less and slowly.
