We can not forget the true meaning of the celebration, but it is impossible on this date family and friends not take the opportunity to fraternize, give, share moments and of course, there can be no shortage of food on these occasions. As a nutritionist, I am here to give you some tips. Then there must have been people who thought:? Light things, can't eat this, can't eat that ???
Many when they hear about nutrition think so, but instead, I will give tips that work for those who are on a dietary purpose and wanting to lose weight, but the tips apply to all people who want not to overdo it while maintaining weight, not worrying about changing blood rates. After all, our health is very important. So let's go to the tips for Christmas dinner:
To begin all preparation, the first step is to think about how to make supper a low calorie meal. So light and low-calorie ingredients on these occasions are welcome: ricotta, skim milk, textured soy protein, vegetables, fruits and more can be used to prepare the dishes.
At this time of year, markets are full of offerings and many recipes include oilseeds: peanuts (shelled), almonds, hazelnuts, walnuts, cashews, Brazil nuts, pistachios and apricots. Raisins and dried fruits are also very tasty oilseed options. Although caloric, they are rich in unsaturated fats, which are beneficial to our body. But you need to be aware of the amount ingested. If consumed without abuse, oilseeds have beneficial effects.
Instead of soda and alcohol abuse, prepare a non-alcoholic fruit drink to go with the snacks. Leave the alcoholic beverage for a toast and a good wine. There are several cocktails that can be used, a good option is flavored sparkling water and some herbs such as rosemary and mint? that aid in digestion? as a complement to make the taste special.
And since we talk about snacks, nothing better than tasty snacks to start supper. A healthy option is gluten-free toast and soy flavors of various flavors to whet your appetite.
The main course also cannot be forgotten. The tips are to use white meats such as turkey, chester, chicken, lean tenderloin and tenderloin, accompanied by whole grains such as rice with seven grains, thus having great nutritional value and low calorie.
Garnishing the recipes with dried tomatoes and Brazil nuts, natural fruits (pineapple and cherry) gives a different look and a special touch to the supper. The secret at Christmas dinner is not to stop eating but to make the right choices so as not to have too many extra calories.
