Overeating at the New Year's table in itself is not so scary for the figure, experts assured us with one voice. “You won’t gain extra pounds from one time,” says Elena Tikhomirova,dietitian “SM-Clinics”. - If you usually eat moderately, the body has no practice at all to store fat. In the case of a single food shit, he, according to the theory of protective thermogenesis, will turn extra calories not into folds at the waist, but into heat, and increase the temperature of muscles and skin. Sometimes a person clearly feels this effect, feels that his face, abdomen, inner thighs are on fire ...

Overeating at the festive table, rather, is dangerous because it can be perceived as the ending of the diet that you followed before, and the start of a long gluttony. You won’t gain extra pounds in one day, and a couple of easily during the winter holidays. If you understand that you can "slide" to this scenario, agree with yourself in advance when exactly you will allow yourself too much. Say, on New Year's Eve, on Christmas Day, and on the day when you go to visit your mother (mother-in-law, brother). In the rest, eat normally and walk more. ”

With the fact that from one late dinner you can’t get better, we agree Marina Studenikina, nutritionist, deputy head physician at the Weight Factor Clinic, and Ekaterina Belova, nutritionist, chief physician of the Center for Personal Dietetics "Nutrition Palette". But digestive problems can be earned easily.

“Fatty high-calorie foods, especially from unaccustomed habits, after a break, diet, will provoke at least heaviness in the stomach and nausea,” says Marina Studenikina. - The digestive system produces little enzymes at night, evening overeating is stressful for her anyway. To make healthy New Year's meals on the New Year's table is necessary for at least this reason. ”

* Do not violate the 31st day of diet. As on any other day, you should have breakfast and lunch, snacks and dinner - a festive dinner at 7-8 o’clock in the evening. Celebrate food and drinks not the New Year itself, but the farewell of the old. And after midnight, eat only a few fruits or vegetables, greens.

* Cook, first of all, for yourself. This is selfish, but correct. If it’s important for you to have non-nutritious, healthy food on the New Year’s table, prepare it first. And then salads with mayonnaise, if guests want them.

* Modify dishes. With some traditional recipes (like tiramisu), this will be difficult. With salads - easier. To, say, make a healthier and lighter version of olivier, put beans instead of potatoes in it, and pieces of chicken instead of sausages. Season with not bean mayonnaise (it contains a lot of not only fat, but also additives), but with bean sauce. They are very close to taste, I will say from experience - they are almost indistinguishable, at least in Mimosa, even in a herring under a fur coat. And calorie content and less fat. The recipe below contains 200 ml of olive oil, but the output volume will be large. Only a couple of spoons of such sauce will go into the dish, and even less will fall on the plate.

* Cook more salads with fresh vegetables. They are lighter than others and saturate well due to the large amount of fiber.

* Choose red fish, not caviar. Caviar contains more salt. In addition, it is most often eaten on white bread with butter.

Bean Sauce a la mayonnaise

Scroll in a blender a can of canned white beans in your own juice. Add 1/2 teaspoon of sugar and salt, 1 teaspoon of mustard from a tube, 1 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar, 2 tbsp. l lemon juice and 200 ml of olive oil. Scroll in the blender again until smooth.

Grapefruit and seafood salad

Mix in any proportion lettuce, halved cherry tomatoes, sea cocktail (canned in its own juice or boiled). Divide half the grapefruit into slices, and then - directly above the salad bowl so that the juice flows into it - on the fillet. Salt. Season with olive oil.

* Do not cook too much. Cover the table not with “basins”, but with small plates and bowls. Ideally, each of them should fit so much food that each guest would have enough for a small portion. A larger number will provoke overeating, both on New Year's Eve and after it: food will be a pity to throw away.

* Remember that the New Year's table is dinner. In accordance with this, and choose dishes. On ordinary days in the evening, it is supposed to eat not carbohydrates, but protein and vegetables. Forget about potatoes, pasta, kulebyaki and pies. Ideally, about desserts, except perhaps fruit. If you really want to treat yourself to them, leave them on the morning of January 1. And on New Year's Eve, serve vegetables and poultry. Whole chicken or turkey baked looks beautiful, and, eaten without skin, will not give you extra calories. An even better option is fish. It is very tasty, both baked in the oven and steamed.

* Distract attention from food as such. Try to beautifully arrange the table itself, put on spectacular dishes (it is better than cold shades - warm ones stimulate appetite), wrap figurines from napkins, aesthetically decorate the dishes themselves in the form of a Christmas tree, Santa Claus figurines, clock dial. Or, conversely, cook as simple and tasty food as possible.

* From alcoholic beverages, select dry wines. Not sweet, much less cocktails. The latter are usually a combination of alcohol and sugar. Having received a fair amount of calories from alcohol, those that come with sugar will definitely be stored by the body.

Fish baked in foil with vegetables

Rinse salmon steaks (portioned cod fillet, other fish), dry, salt, pepper. Put onion rings and tomato slices on top. Wrap in foil and bake until cooked.

Spicy Vegetable Kebabs

Boil cauliflower and broccoli in salted water until crisp (for a large company - about 20 medium inflorescences). Drain and dry. Mix 1 tbsp. l unsalted / lightly salted soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, chopped ginger root and garlic passed through a crush, 1 tsp. curry, salt to taste. Add cabbage and twist in the resulting sauce. Allow to stand at room temperature for 2 hours before serving. When serving, string onto wooden skewers.

* Celebrate New Year at the restaurant. The correct New Year's table is a restaurant table. In this case, you do not have to cook, and therefore, try dishes in the cooking process - this is how we get a significant amount of calories. Yes, and you don’t sit at the table - go dancing. Before going to a restaurant, eat a meal of protein and fiber, such as scrambled eggs with vegetables. If you go to a restaurant more or less well-fed, then the purpose of the trip will be slightly different: not so much food as communication.

* Avoid bubbly alcohol. It increases the pressure inside the ducts of the pancreas. And it may happen that your pancreatic enzymes are directly in it and are activated, they will not enter the duodenum. And you get acute pancreatitis.

* Fill the plate correctly. It doesn't matter if you celebrate at home, in a restaurant or at a party. Cover the bottom with lettuce leaves, lay a little smaller diameter on top of fresh vegetables and only at the very top - slices of the main dish, meat, fish, salad.

* Choose simple dishes with few ingredients. Jellied fish, aspic (do not forget, when it freezes, remove fat from the surface). Simple salads, meat, fish, poultry, baked with a piece, and not with sauce.

* Seize the fatter slices with fresh vegetables, herbs. They contain a lot of fiber, which activates the intestines, pushing food, and partially absorbs fat.

* From fruit desserts choose fruit (from dried fruits). Eat them better not on New Year's Eve, but on the morning of January 1.

Baked whole fish with vegetables

Clean trout or pink salmon carcass, gut, remove gills and skeleton, rinse and dry. Pour in lemon juice, salt, pepper inside and out and leave to stand for 1 hour. Peel half onions, half carrots and 3 medium champignons, finely chop and simmer in olive oil. Place on a napkin to absorb excess fat. Fill the resulting mixture with fish and sew with cooking threads or chop with wooden toothpicks. Bake in the oven until cooked (about half an hour, depending on the size of the fish).

Prunes with yogurt sauce

Cut prunes on one side, take out the seeds and instead of them put almond nuts in each. Put on a dish, pour with low-fat yogurt and sprinkle with grated chocolate.

Follow the advice of nutritionists, prepare dishes according to their recipes - and your New Year's meal will be easy.

Add a little mustard, (1/2 cup, as a rule, goes to a cup of ready-made sauce), salt and spices to taste. Such a sauce as a part of salads is almost indistinguishable from ordinary mayonnaise, and its calories are about 2-3 times less, depending on how much low-fat ingredients you prefer. Probably, if you do not tell the guests about the substitution, they may not notice the difference at all;
• Despite the fact that in normal times it is better to exclude any sweets from the diet, the New Year without them may seem joyless to many. Replace sugar in desserts with stevia syrup or a low-calorie sweetener. Around many artificial rumors are circulating about their harm to health, but there is still no convincing evidence for or against. If this turns out to be true, it is likely only for cases of systematic use that do not apply to several days of holidays, but regular sugar at the same time can seriously ruin your figure and lead to a breakdown in the diet in the future. But be careful when choosing a sweetener, in fact, not all of them are dietary, for example, or corn syrup is not inferior in sugar to calorie content. If in doubt, prefer Stevia syrup, but note that only a few drops of this product replace a spoonful of sugar. In large quantities, almost any strong sweeteners give the dishes a bitter taste;
• Replace the butter cream in the desserts with cream of mascarpone or low-fat cottage cheese and banana. To prepare the cream, you will need cheese or cottage cheese itself, ripe bananas (the peel of which is covered with small brown dots) and a blender. Mix the ingredients thoroughly and add a couple drops of stevia or a sweetener tablet if necessary. This cream is very tasty and, as a rule, children adore it. You can serve it as an independent dish in a bowl, after decorating the dessert with mint leaves or fruit slices;
• Replace fried with baked. Chicken will be no less tasty and tender, if you do not fry it in the oven under crispy skin, and simmer over low heat in milk sauce with seasonings and vegetables;
• Add sliced \u200b\u200bfruit or a fruit basket. The meaning of the festive table is not to get enough food, but to pause food during a pleasant family chat. Fruits cope with this task just fine. In addition, the New Year holidays have a harvest of fruits such as tangerines, oranges, pineapples and bananas, which, accordingly, become cheaper during this period. Take this opportunity to please yourself and loved ones. And if bananas and citrus fruits are already boring for the New Year, ripe pineapples served with low-fat yogurt can very successfully replace cakes or ice cream at the same (if not less) cost;
• Watch out for liquid calories. On holidays, we eat not only “forbidden” dishes, but also a lot of alcohol and sugary drinks, which ultimately leads to deposits of fat and tears of frustration. And if in relation to alcohol adults are unlikely to follow outside advice, then at least it is possible to reduce the amount of sugar drunk with soda and juice. Remember, purchased juices are no less harmful to the figure than sweet soda, and contain exactly the same amount of sugar. You can replace these drinks with homemade lemonade, compote, or a spicy drink with dietary sweetener. Do not forget about the usual mineral water, which must be present on the table;
• Avoid the use of dough and pasta - one of the main conditions of any diet. However, among recipes for gluten-free people, you can find baking recipes without flour at all, which will greatly help you. If you like pasta, then you can not refuse this product, just buying buckwheat;
• Ketchup, like other store sauces, is very harmful to the figure and health due to the content of preservatives and flavor enhancers. In addition, due to the content of a large number of spices, it increases appetite, which leads to overeating. If you feel the lack of ketchup in the dishes, cook it yourself or use the quick "raw" ketchup. This recipe saved not one ketchup lover from diet breakdowns. Blanch the tomatoes (for this, their skin is cut crosswise with “petals”, the tomatoes are dipped in boiling water for 5 seconds and in ice water for 10 seconds; after such procedures, even the thinnest skin is easily removed from the tomatoes); chop as finely as possible; add a minimum amount of spices and salt; season with crushed garlic. Although this sauce does not rest on slices of meat or vegetables, like ketchup, it is a healthy and low-calorie alternative to it and helps to add flavor to dishes when they need it.

Will the New Year really pass without Olivier?

It’s not at all necessary to refuse a salad that is beloved and traditional for the New Year holidays; use the low-calorie Olivier recipe, which has been very popular lately.

Replace the sausages and smoked meats in the salad with boiled or baked chicken breast without skin or other dietary meat, reduce the number of potatoes and use the mayonnaise sauce for the dressing, the recipe of which is described above. The fact is that the taste of olivier salad is mainly formed by potatoes, peas, pickles, peppers and dressing.

Sausage in a salad can always be replaced with diet chicken breast.

If you are accustomed to a salad with smoked sausages, you can add a pinch of “smoked” spices in honor of the holiday, although there are such seasonings every day, of course, monstrously unhealthy. The remaining ingredients can be added to your own taste without compromising the food.

In this case, the salad recipe will look like this:

• Potatoes;
• Chicken breast or low-fat veal, boiled or baked without fat;
• Pickled cucumber, it is better to replace with salted. Despite the fact that this increases the amount of salt in the salad, without pickles the taste of olivier is not at all the same;
• Hard boiled eggs;
• Mayonnaise sauce;
• Salt, pepper to taste;
• Greens for decoration.

But what about the cake?

You may not believe it, but in the framework of a low-calorie New Year, you can even cook a quick cake that will leave a wonderful impression on itself. As an example, we offer you a recipe for a simple low-calorie cake, which you can repeat or take as a basis.

You will need:

• 4 ripe soft bananas;
• Stevia syrup or other dietary sweetener to your liking;
• 3-4 packets of gelatin with a total weight of 45 g;
• 1 pack of any ready-made cakes. You can buy the dough and bake them yourself. Since cakes are the most high-calorie component of a diet cake, you can also use ready-made wafer cakes as the lowest calorie ones, but keep in mind that they will soften and will not crunch; in addition, you will have to lay them a little more often than regular cakes the cake kept its shape;
• 500 g of pitted frozen cherries (or other frozen berries);
• 1 kg of mascarone cheese or low-fat cottage cheese;
• 1 sachet of vanillin;
• Salt to taste.

Cooking

• Soak in various containers 15 and 30 g of gelatin and wait until it swells. Soak in a small amount of purified or boiled water;
• Using a blender, mix bananas and cottage cheese, add a bag of vanillin and swollen gelatin to the cream. Try the mixture if it is not sweet enough for you; add a small pinch of salt and a few drops of stevia syrup;
• Put the frozen cherry in a saucepan so that the cherry is barely covered, add a few drops of stevia syrup. Bring to a boil, remove from heat and mix with the remaining gelatin. Stir well and let cool;
• Spread a high detachable form with cling film, put the cake on the bottom, put a little curd cream on it, then put another cake and repeat the procedure. The amount of cakes and the thickness of the layer of curd cream determine at will, the main thing is that the top layer is cream. If you use dense cakes, you can limit yourself to one crust, placed at the very bottom - due to the fact that gelatin is added to the cream, your cake will still retain its shape anyway;
• Place the cake blank in the refrigerator for 1-1.5 hours. During this time, the cream will harden. Then lay the berry mixture on top of the cream and put the cake in the refrigerator until it solidifies;
• Before serving, remove the side walls, remove the film and decorate the cake with the remnants of cake and berries.

Variations

If you want to avoid using the dough in principle or don’t have a suitable shape on hand, you can prepare not a cake, but a portioned dessert in glasses according to the same principle. Put the cream in glasses or cups, put in the refrigerator and wait until it hardens a little. Then add a layer of berry jelly and return to the refrigerator until completely frozen. Before serving, it is appropriate to decorate the dessert with the rest of the cream, berries and mint leaves.

In addition, you can make a cake without cake by simply adding more gelatin to the curd mixture and spreading this mixture directly onto the cling film in a mold. In this case, the dessert will still look like a cake, but will not contain flour ingredients.

What to drink at the table?

There are many homemade drinks for every taste, which can replace sweet water and store juices. In addition, you can make fresh juices or homemade compote from berries or dried fruits. You can also make a spicy apple drink, which is great for the New Year mood.

You will need

• 300-500 g ripe apples;
• Dry or fresh crust of lemon or orange (for an additional New Year's effect, you can use the peel of tangerines, but it is not so tart);
• 1 or ½ sticks of cloves;
• A small piece;
• 1 sachet of vanillin;
• A few grains of cardamom;
• 3 liters of water;
• Soda at will;
• Dietary sweetener to taste.

Cooking

• In cold water, add all the ingredients except lemon and soda, and heat to a boil;
• Boil for 10 minutes and remove the drink from the heat;
• Let it brew for at least an hour, refrigerate (this is important since lemon changes taste in hot drinks) and add lemon juice;
• Before pouring a drink into a glass, pour a pinch of soda into it. Since the liquid contains lemon juice, the drink will turn out a little with bubbles. So originally made a real lemonade. If you want a violent chemical reaction in your glass, add more lemon juice or citric acid to the drink and pour more soda. Experiment with the amount of acid and soda in plain water so as not to make a mistake before serving.
