How to not gain weight during the holiday season
1. Donât Starve Yourself
âThe best way to keep the excess holiday weight off is by taking it slow, being aware of your hunger levels and eating as per that. All the delicious food at gatherings can be quite mesmerising, and if you are hungry, you will end up overindulging in all the food that is served. A smart thing to do is to take a break between the different varieties of food that you try or the various courses. This will give you enough time to gauge your hunger levels and prevent you from overeating and thereby gaining weight,â says Health Coach, Neha Ranglani.

1. The keto diet aids weight loss
“The ketogenic diet was originally created as a treatment for epilepsy. As it also leads to weight loss, it has become one of the most famous diets used to lose weight. The keto diet is goal-oriented as far as weight loss is concerned, and is also known to also increase energy levels,” says Kamna Bhandari, Nutritionist and Life Coach.
“Keto diet suppresses the appetite as it is a high fat diet, which reduces carbohydrate cravings and provides steady energy that helps in weight loss. Also, in the state of ketosis, insulin levels drop, which allows the body to burn fat more effectively,” remarks Celebrity Nutritionist Shweta Shah.
