It’s easy for all of us to follow a diet at home or on work. But for some-one who is always on the move and more particularly, when at social gathering / events / parties, it becomes far more impossible to resist the tempting flavours & presentation of the delicacies on offer for you.
So here are some tips as to how you can enjoy the delicacies, don’t angry your hosts nor put much strain on your regular diet:
- Don’t skip your meals if you are to go for event or party. You won’t be served food as soon as you reach there. There is a waiting period in which you socialise and relax. Have enough of liquids (non alcoholic & non carbonated) in this time and during your meals. This will give you a feeling of full-filling-ness, and hence would avoid over-eating. Don’t make yourself too hungry. If too hungry you will end up eating too much of calorie rich food un-sensibly.
- Have light food and enough water before the event / party so that your tummy will respond as full and your intake of edibles will be lower.
- Always take few moments to first access the delicacies on the offerings. Access the items that you want to have.
- Always first opt for ample salads & soups (without cream).
- Select the choicest edibles that you don’t have much often. This will curtail and filter your choice of selection from all the offerings.
- If You like some edibles so much that it’s impossible to resist, have it but in limit. Don’t deprive yourself of that happiness.
- Always take smallest portion of the deserts / sweets / high calorie food.
- Eat slowly and munch properly, enjoy your food and satisfy your taste buds. This will start fulfilling your urge for the delicacy.
- Avoid second servings and over-eating.
- Avoid sitting near to the food serving area.
- Leave for your home early to limit your intake of edibles and give a rest to your temptations.
By your smart planning & choice you will leave the event/party guilt-free and without much piling over the calories on your body and thoughts.
