As Eid al -Fitr approaches, many are keen to enjoy the Eid cakes and traditional pastries, but the anxiety of weight gain prevents fully enjoying these foods, so how can it be balanced between pleasure and preserving fitness?
According to nutrition experts, the secret lies in moderation and the choice of healthy ingredients, the Healthline website, one of the most prominent sites specialized in health and nutrition, confirms that controlling quantities and following some simple tips can reduce calories without deprivation.
Golden tips to enjoy the feast of the feast without weight gain
First, experts are advised to divide the quantities and avoid excess. Instead of eating several large pieces, a small piece (equivalent to 30-50 grams) can be satisfied with a cup of unpleasant tea or coffee to avoid high blood sugar.
Second, it is preferable to choose healthy modified recipes, such as using whole wheat flour instead of white flour, and replacement of obesity with olive oil or low -fat butter, and the amount of sugar can be reduced or replaced by natural alternatives such as honey or dates.
Third, it is recommended to eat cakes after a mild, rich protein and fiber meal, such as salad or soup, which helps to feel full and reduces the desire to excessive eating sweets.
Fourth, it is useful to share cakes with family and friends instead of storing large quantities at home, which limits the chances of eating them greedily.
Fifth, care must be taken to drink enough water throughout the day, as dehydration may increase the desire to eat sugars.
Finally, experts recommend the need to practice some physical activity during Eid days, such as walking for 30 minutes a day, to help the body burn extra calories.
With these smart ways, you can enjoy the traditions of Eid and maintain a balanced diet, without feeling guilty or anxious about weight.
