How to Enjoy Your Favorite Christmas Recipes
Christmas is a time of holiday and festivity. And delicious food
is integral part of the celebrations. You relish food and have
fun with your friends and relatives. In this excitement you
hardly give sufficient attention to how much you should eat.
There is a tendency to overeat at odd times and quite often the
associated problems follow.
Is it possible to enjoy our favorite Christmas recipes and have
a control on our diet at the same time?
The answer is a big YES.
And this is not limited to Christmas time either. But this is a
good time to start on the right path.
In our busy and mechanical life we have long forgotten to pay
attention to the subtle indications sent out by our bodies.
While attending to the "necessities" of our lives and fulfilling
our "obligations", we tend to abuse our bodies. The consequences
are there to see within us and all around us.
Yet with just a little self-discipline this situation can be
greatly improved. I am not suggesting skipping meals or reducing
diet forcibly.
Just try these simple tricks and see the difference.
* Feel Good About Yourself - Before you start your meals get
into a happy state of mind. Now don't tell me it isn't possible.
You can always think of something positive and pleasant. The
idea is to feel happy. Feeling happy is a habit - it is
worthwhile cultivating it.
* Be Thankful For Your Food - Saying prayers before your meals
is one of the best practices created by the civilization. In all
situations it may not be possible to go thru this ritual. But
the least you can do is to have your meals with gratefulness in
your heart.
* Have a Regular Time Schedule For Eating - This point cannot be
over emphasized. Some discipline in the intake of your food can
go a long way in regulating your life. This may be difficult to
maintain in the midst of festivity, and that is quite excusable.
If you are otherwise
disciplined in your eating habits,
occasional exceptions can be easily tolerated.
* Don't Eat Hurriedly - Don't be in a hurry to devour your food
as if it is going to run away. Instead slow down your eating and
consciously enjoy the flavor.
* Eat With Full Awareness - While you eat give full attention to
your eating. Don't make it a casual or a half-hearted effort.
This is a commitment you have to make to yourself. In fact this
approach bears positive results with any work you undertake.
* Chew Your Food Well - Avoid just gulping down your food. By
chewing your food properly not only will you enjoy it, you also
help your body to assimilate the food better.
* Pay Attention To Indicators Of Your Body - While eating listen
to your body. It will give you sufficient indication when you
have had enough. Eat to your heart's content but avoid
overindulgence. If you follow the steps outlined here you will
"know" when it is time to finish your meals.
I will add one more bullet point here - have regular physical
exercise, or physical movement. It need not be a vigorous
routine if you don't want it, but it should be enough to make
you feel hungry at the next meal.
The points I have outlined here are nothing new - they form a
part of age-old formula which also have scientific support. I
have not tried to suggest what food you should have - that will
depend upon lot of factors I am not aware of including your
particular situation and physical condition.
But these simple tricks work well with all situations and you
can practice it with any other remedial measures you may be
taking. They will certainly help you to enjoy your Christmas
recipes better.
