It is hard to say no to sharing moments with our family and friends in summer. And let’s be honest, we usually meet them around a table for lunch, dinner or just a snack.
Here are some
tips on how to “come through” social meals and keep your weight and health:
Do not skip meals. Do not compensate excesses
with too light intakes, as you’ll only get hungrier.
Select. Both in menus or tapas, there are always
light options, such as grilled fish, seafood, gazpacho, cold soups, etc.
Avoid alcohol and carbonated drinks. Have a glass
of water instead to avoid a lot of calories.
Choose light desserts. Seasonal fruits, iced coffee
or infusions are the best options to avoid sugar.
Eat slowly. Take your time, chew slowly, and savor
your food. You will eat less and enjoy the moment, which is precisely the objective
of these meetings.
Practice sport. It’s said that bikes are for summer,
but you can also swim, walk on the beach, play beach tennis and so on to
compensate for the excessive meals.
There are also dietary supplements like Calory Brake, which may help you
reduce the impact of the excesses of summertime. Moments count, but calories don’t!
