These tips not to fatten at Easter also serve for any other time of year, as they are strategies for hunger not to appear and to control the desire to eat sweets.
1. Start the day with an enhanced breakfast
Starting the day with a good glass of milk, bread and cheese and a fruit makes the hours that follow quiet and hunger slows down. In some cases, a warm egg and a spoonful of honey also complete this meal, increasing the caloric value, but also nutritional value of the meal. This is a very good strategy for people who do not like to dine or who do not want to eat too much at night not to get fat.
2. Eat chocolate only in the morning
It is true that during Easter we give ourselves permission to eat chocolate, but one tip for it to be less harmful is to eat chocolate only in the morning, when the desire to eat sweets is not yet great, making it easier to follow a healthy diet during the rest of the day.
3. Eat More Raw Foods
Raw foods are high in fiber, nutrients that give satiety and decrease the absorption of fat in the intestine. Therefore, having a diet where you eat a fruit with bark for breakfast, a salad of raw vegetables at lunch, 2 nuts in the snack and a salad of fruits like dessert of the dinner greatly increases the amount of dietary fiber of the day, which improves intestinal transit and helps to reduce the sensation of hunger, making the weight remain stable even with the consumption of chocolate.
4. Never skip meals
Staying out of food for many hours causes the body's metabolism to slow and the craving for sweets increases, especially at night, the time of day when it is easier to eat in larger quantities than usual.
5. Drink plenty of water before and after meals.
One should drink 1 glass of water half an hour before meals, as this decreases the hunger and quantity of foods that are consumed. In addition, consuming at least 1.5 L of water per day helps fight fluid retention, improves intestinal transit and moisturizes the skin, preventing wrinkles and expression marks.
