Booking with back-to-back parties as 2018 comes to an end? No doubt, this season is all about celebration; however, while you are enjoying the festivities, you also have to make a conscious effort to also maintain a healthy lifestyle during this season. Follow our 5 easy tips to stay healthy as you party on.
BALANCE IS KEY: Avoid eating too many and too few calories. Strike the right caloric balance by grabbing a light snack 1 hour before going out. That way, you won’t overeat when you get to your destination.
STAYFULL WITH PROTEIN: Protein will keep your energy levels high! Fill up on high-protein foods like fatty fish (including tuna and salmon), eggs, lean beef and cheese.
FOOD GROUP ORDER MATTERS: In order to maintain a healthy lifestyle, you have to optimize your diet’s effectiveness by following this food group order: Vegetables – Fat – Protein – Carbs. Starting off your meals with veggies and low-calorie foods high in fiber, like salad, will make you feel fuller faster.
