Thus, we always recommend do not anticipate the end of the year parties and be moderate in the festivities that from now on are carried out to celebrate the closing of the 2021.
By avoiding consuming Christmas desserts and sweets as well as copious dinners, we can save many calories in our diet as well as subtracting poor quality nutrients.
At the other extreme are the severe restrictions that we also advise avoiding. That is to say we advise against the implementation of miraculous or very restrictive diets from now until the end of the year with the aim of losing weight or detoxifying, because the only thing they achieve is more hunger, anxiety and desire to eat that will be compensated with excesses in the Christmas holidays.
For all this, we recommend moderation above all, the mental record of what was ingested and the consumption conscious of each of our foods without ever stopping savoring and enjoying each bite.
