1. Traditional Easter Foods
Traditional Easter dishes, unfortunately, are not low-calorie dishes. The most popular Christmas dishes are a cereal made with the addition of a barbecue and sausage, as well as an orange salad, which, although made with cooked vegetables, contains huge amounts of mayonnaise. There's also no shortage of eggs, homemade pastries, white sausages, baked sausage and sweets such as Easter buns, noodles or pasta. Most of us can't imagine a celebration without these traditional foods, but fortunately we don't have to give them up on our own.2. Replace fat meat with leaner counterparts
Instead of white pork sausage or fatty pork pastes, choose poultry or fish that are much richer in protein, have no artificial preservatives and, by the way, do not provide as many kilocalories.3. Limit the amount of fat when preparing meals
Avoid deep-fried oil and choose other methods of heat treatment, such as baking, grilling, steaming, water or suffocation.4. Replace the heavy sauce with the light dressing
Instead of full-fat mayonnaise or cream-based fatty sauces, use lighter dressing with natural yogurt, lemon juice, balsamic vinegar or mustard.5. Choose whole grain cereals instead of white wheat flour
These products are rich in fiber, protein, and nutritional value, so they last longer and reduce unnecessary intake.6. You should eat more vegetables
In addition to a heavy lettuce salad with mayonnaise added, make a salad based on fresh vegetables.. to give it a bit of a festive feel, you can enrich it with sausage.. and in addition to the salad, raw vegetables are great to serve simply as a side dish.7. Instead of a sweet snack, put fresh fruit on the table
There's a rule of thumb called the rule of availability -- if something is within sight, we often reach for it without thinking about it -- so instead of tasting sweet candy, put a bowl of fresh fruit on the table between meals, like juice grapes.8. Consider preparing your own Christmas meals
If you buy ready-to-eat Christmas foods, you have no control over the ingredients you use to make them.9. Give up sugary drinks and alcohol
Put on water with lemon patches or mint or herbal teas without added sugar.. they won't deliver any extra calories and will make you feel much lighter after a full meal.10. Be careful with the portion size
Choose a smaller plate that will make you feel like you're eating more.. so you eat faster and you won't feel the need to eat more.11. Don't forget about physical activity
Encourage the family to take a walk together after Christmas breakfast.. and not only will you have a good time, but you'll also burn some calories.12. The psycho-dietetic context
Most of us enjoy the opportunity to rest and spend time with our family during Easter, but for others, it can be a huge challenge to overindulge in food and the resulting feelings of guilt. The Easter celebration often becomes a battlefield between the desire to enjoy delicious food and caring for the body. For those who struggle with unhealthy eating habits or have difficulty controlling their food intake, the Christmas period can be especially challenging.13. It's a pastry from a lens
