Putting pleasure first in food is essential, which is why it is essential to allow yourself these little moments, which are often moments of celebration, without guilt.
However, diet is also synonymous with balance. To stay in good health, overeating must still remain occasional, especially since, sometimes, they are poorly experienced in the moment, particularly with regard to intestinal comfort.
To better manage these periods of excess, we give you some advice:
#1 – Listen to your body
We can never repeat it enough, but your body constantly sends you signals: hunger, thirst, satiety, the desire to sleep, digestive heaviness, etc. Learning to listen to them is essential, and to avoid being fooled during a meal, taking the time to eat is just as important.
#2 – Constantly hydrate after overindulgence
Festive meals are often rich in salt and watered down... However, alcohol and salt are known to cause dehydration, so we do not hesitate to increase our water intake. You can also spice up your water with the juice of half a lemon to revitalize the functions of the liver and help it in its detoxification work, or with herbal teas known for their digestive benefits. Among them we find peppermint, fennel, ginger, anise, verbena…
#3 – Adopt the digestive walk
After a big meal, we tend to want to lie down on the couch with our pants unbuttoned. This is the best thing to do if you want to avoid bloating, stomach heaviness and pain! The advancement of the food bolus through the digestive tract is not completely subject to gravity, but it still helps greatly. Instead, favor digestive walking, which will facilitate digestion by using the intestinal muscles.
#4 – Don’t skip meals to compensate
There's no point in starving yourself after overindulging, other than causing frustration. Once again, you have to listen to yourself, if you are hungry, it is because the body is asking to be nourished and you should not ignore it. Excessive eating will never make you gain weight over time, only constant poor eating habits will.
If you are not hungry at the next meal, you can eat something frugal so as not to break the rhythm of your meals, or feel hungry later between two meals.
There is also no point in reducing your plate in advance, at the risk of arriving completely hungry at the table and eating even more than you would normally have eaten.
