One of the most important parts of the festive season is food. There is no shortage of sweets, snacks and sumptuous main course items; and not to forget that they are very “rich” in calories as well. No matter how much you try to stick to your diet, at some point, you have to give up. But still, you cannot take your healthy lightly just for the sake of festivals. Here are some of the tips that can help you in maintaining a healthy lifestyle during the festive season without depriving yourself of anything.

1. Do not skip meals- This one is a very common mistake that a lot of us commit. During the festival season, people skip meals so that they can eat their heart out the party/get together. But what they do not know is that this makes them feel sluggish and irritable. There are also chances of you eating much more than you normally do. This happens because your body has been deprived of its basic requirement and that makes it crave unhealthy holiday food. But when you eat small meals at regular intervals you are less likely to eat more at the party.

2. Drink water- Keep drinking water throughout the day. Drinking water will ensure that your body stays hydrated and you don’t end up eating something. Yes, this may happen sometimes as your brain may get confused and signal thirst as hunger. Also, drinking more water will flush out all the toxins from your body which you might be putting in along with all that sugary and oily foods.

3. Try to modify the dishes- When it comes to food there are a lot of healthy alternatives to try out. Usually, people are a little skeptical when it comes to experimenting with healthier alternatives but if you decide to use them they can make a huge difference to your health. For example, using honey in place of sugar in your desserts is a great way to make them a little healthy.

4. Keep a track of what you eat- There is so much to eat during the festive season that you may end up eating too much. In fact, we end up eating things that we don’t even need and even if we are not hungry. If you put in a little effort in keeping a record of all the things you eat you can keep those extra kilos at bay.

5. Keep moving- Sitting at one place will automatically make you pile up weight. The extra calories that you are putting in your body need to be burned if you don’t want to put on any weight. You can choose your favourite mode for staying active. You can either indulge yourself in household chores or you can go to the gym to burn those extra calories. Dancing, cycling, swimming, etc. are also great to keep the holiday weight off the line.
