Here we are! After a year, here we are again in the most magical time of the year: that of saturated fat. Yes, why Christmas it's not just family time, shopping, a burning fireplace and a tree with strobe lights. The Christmas holidays they are above all the best way to significantly increase your body mass. But can all this be avoided? We offer you a quick and useless one drive up how to survive these gluttonous days.
First point: preparation for the Christmas holidays
Well, as a well-known toothpaste commercial suggests for centuries Prevention is better than cure! In fact, the first phase consists in preparing our body for the kilograms of processed sugars that we will ingest starting from the second half of December. If you managed to read the last sentence without getting out of breath, you are on the right track. If you are already panting, you can still fix it. Like? According to the experts boiled and unsalted foods they are the healthiest ones. So let's take everything and put it to boil. Whether it's meat, vegetables, panettone, ginger biscuits or nails: we whisk everything in boiling water. Then let's offer it to someone. We don't have to eat anything, just plain tap water. This for at least 40 days.
Second phase: break off relations with friends and relatives
During the process of disposal and integration of elements useful for achieving the purpose (fasting), it is also necessary to lighten the presence of friends and relatives. This is because, during the Christmas holidays, they will be the first vile tempters to our line. Many of them will donate to us goodies from all over Italy just because they didn't know what else to give. Cruel gesture, but you can limit it by sending them to that country, like in Lapland, before the arrival of Santa Claus. In this way we will find ourselves without any basket full of typical products such as salami, aged cheeses, biscuits, panettone, nougat, mustaccioli, chocolates ... Ok, let's calm down!
Third step: integrate with physical activity
According to recent studies right after the jokes and movies of Leslie Nielsen, the word physical activity it is the one that causes the most laughter in the average human being. However, if we are to survive these Christmas holidays, we need to put a hand on our conscience, a pair of running shoes and start running. How many? So much. It must be done that the metabolism starts burning like a thermonuclear reactor. So I'd say start with a couple of laps on the A1. Then maybe we can eat a slice of panettone without candied fruit.
Fourth commandment: ignore to survive
This is tough. One of the best remedies to avoid being seated in front of laden tables is do not participate in it. Acquaintances will not miss an opportunity in inviting us to lunches and dinners with two hundred courses (especially in the South). The only way is to ignore all of this: let's pretend to be Buddhists, on vacation or dead. We avoid going out when the date on the calendar is colored red and we turn off TV and PC until January XNUMXth.
Fifth precaution: how to remedy in case of mistakes
Despite all the precautions taken, did we find ourselves at lunch with our country aunt? No problem. The medical profession suggests, in these cases, of eat slowly. We chew at the same speed as the Eurasian plate, coming to mangling every single one atom of our bite. Doing so will burn calories and make the meal highly digestible. We will also be hated by the other diners who will no longer dare to send us any invitation. Two birds with one stone. Happy Holidays!
