The festive season is going on and it’s easy to gain some extra pounds during this time. It is essential to keep yourself in regular check if you want to avoid that bulging waistline. For keeping oneself healthy, one can prepare a food diary. It seems to be a perfect way to keep track of calorie consumption as well.

Here are a few tips that will actually help to maintain one’s diet and keep oneself healthy.

Try something different

Nobody likes to keep the diet schedule during festivals but one can opt for those options that they have not eaten before and which can prove to be healthy. Try new places and hunt for healthy yet ‘yummilicious’ menu. This will help to maintain a healthy diet and enjoy the festive season simultaneously.

Daily routine

Although it’s difficult to maintain one’s daily routine during the festive season but one must try to maintain their daily routine from jogging to yoga/exercise and everything. Try to manage some time for yourself and follow your schedule. Be active and follow your fitness routine.

Eat before stepping out

Try to keep your stomach full before heading out of the house this festive season. By doing so, one will no longer be tempted to eat a lot. This will actually help you avoid eating outside food.

Control yourself

Keep yourself in control while eating something. Keep small servings on a plate instead of going for big ones. Try to get a little on napkins, if available. Doing so will actually ensure that you are taking something and at the same time controlling yourself by having smaller portion size.

Consume more water

Drinking more water will ensure water retention and keep one healthy and hydrated all the time. Nevertheless, consuming water will also help you shed extra calories.
