Time files! We have entered the last month of the year and Christmas is coming soon! 🎄🎅🏽
How many Christmas parties do you have in the coming weeks? 🎉🎄🎅🏽
How do we eat healthy during festive season? 🤔🤔🤔
⬇️Here are a few tips:
1️⃣Build a healthy plate 🍽️
- include vegetables, meat, grains and dessert.
- a balanced diet
2️⃣Don’t skip meals!! 🚫⏭️🍽️
- eat your breakfast, lunch and dinner
- it is not healthy and not necessary to save a “quota” to eat more at the party.
- you don’t have to “earn” to eat more at the party. Neutralise it as a normal meal.
3️⃣Bring healthy food to share 🥘
- Show your cooking skills 👩🏻🍳🧑🏻🍳👨🍳
- homemade goodies, such as low sugar brownies, homemade salads, homemade roasted dishes
- less fried food, processed food and pastries.
4️⃣Choose low sugar drinks 🍵
- for example: sugar free beverages, lemon tea with no sugar, plain tea, soda water with fruit.
5️⃣Choose light alcoholic beverages 🍺
- lite beer
- no more than 4 standard drinks per occasion
6️⃣Enjoy the food and drinks 😋
- practice mindful eating
- eat slowly, enjoy every bite
7️⃣Be the life of the party 🎉 🕺🏿💃🏻
- enjoy socialising with friends and family
- create a healthy environment
🚫talk about body weight/ body shape.
🚫compliments about “being thin”
🚫comments about what people eat
8️⃣Carry on with active living ⚽️🏀🏸🥾
