The end-of-year holidays are over and this time is ideal for setting new resolutions. Although these resolutions are specific to you, it is not uncommon to see getting back into shape included in them. It is true that you enjoyed the holidays and that is completely normal. It is also possible that your scale shows a few extra kilos on the counter. But don't panic, here are some tips to help you lose weight after the holidays.

Don't feel guilty

The holiday meals were hearty, often fatty and sweet. However, there is no need to feel guilty and therefore start the year frustrating yourself in order to lose weight! This is the last thing to do. To compensate for these differences, start resuming a varied and balanced diet. Favor proteins, complex carbohydrates and fiber to facilitate digestion and avoid unnecessary snacking thanks to their strong satiating power.

Tips.

The excitement of festive meals is over. Take the opportunity to eat calmly and slowly to achieve a quick and lasting feeling of satiety.

Stock up on fruits and vegetables

After meals very high in sugar and fat, it is important to get rid of these toxins in order to detoxify your body. Although your body is capable of doing this naturally, you can help it by consuming antioxidants. Indeed, antioxidants are known for their beneficial effects on health and are essential allies for staying in shape all year round. Fruits and vegetables are low in calories and rich in antioxidants. In addition, they contain a lot of fiber which will give you a lasting feeling of satiety and prevent the urge to snack.

Did you know ?

Citrus fruits such as lemons, oranges and grapefruit are also rich in vitamin C. Essential for facing winter or coping with fatigue, vitamin C strengthens your immune system and boosts your energy.

Hydrate yourself

Champagne, alcohol, and other sugary drinks may have been consumed with every meal during the holidays.* However, now is the time to start hydrating properly again. It is recommended to drink between 1.5 and 2L of water per day (or more if your resolutions include practicing physical activity).

Tips.

Here are 2 tips for those who have difficulty hydrating themselves daily:

• 1.5 to 2L of water corresponds to 6 to 8 glasses of water per day. Simply consume 2 glasses of water with each meal and 2 in the afternoon.
• It is psychologically simpler to consume 3 small 50 cl bottles of water than one large bottle. Have your water bottle handy and refill it as soon as you finish it.

Don't skip meals

Although it's a logical reflex when the goal is to lose weight, skipping meals won't help you. It is true that you will consume fewer calories, which you risk compensating for at the next meal due to excessive hunger and resorting to fatty and sugary snacks. In addition, your body will be more inclined to store calories from your next meal in order to prepare for the next deprivation. Skipping meals is therefore a bad idea! Eat light but eat. The Feed range. LIGHT contains 4 superfoods: konjac, green tea, cayenne pepper and guarana which boost your metabolism and help you achieve your goals.

Resume physical activity

The secret to lasting, healthy weight loss is no secret. The objective is to place your body in a situation of energy deficit (expend more calories than you consume) and to combine a balanced diet with regular physical activity. Even if motivation is more difficult to find during the winter, it is important to resume physical activity, which is often neglected during the end-of-year holidays. If you are not used to practicing one, here is a good resolution to make for this new year! *Alcohol abuse is dangerous for your health, alcoholic beverages should be consumed in moderation.
