MOSCOW, Jan 1 The author of the Spanish portal ABC Elisa Escorihuela listed ten common mistakes in her article at the New Year's table, because of which you can gain excess weight. In the first place in the list of hearty snacks: after them you no longer feel like eating, although the whole dinner with dessert is ahead. The second mistake is fatty side dishes. Ecorihuela urged to give up frying and give preference to baked or steamed vegetables. Another bad decision is high-calorie sauces, which negate the benefits of light meals. The author also advised, even during the New Year holidays, not to break the rest regime and get enough sleep so as not to disrupt hormone production. The next mistake is fasting to compensate for malnutrition. The publication advises eating lighter meals, but not giving up food altogether: this will ultimately lead to eating more high-calorie foods. In addition, you should drink more water at the table, rather than sugary drinks and alcohol — they also contain a lot of calories. The meal should be varied with games so as not to get drunk or overeat. You can not refuse desserts, but the main thing is to eat in small quantities. In this case, you will even be able to try different treats without overloading the body. … You should not reduce the number of meals for the sake of «compensation» so as not to eat more in the end.
