Nutritionist gave advice on restoring nutrition after the New Year holidays
Restoring nutrition after the New Year holidays requires not a strict diet, but a systematic approach and a refusal to drastically reduce the caloric intake. This was told by DDX Fitness personal trainer and nutritionist Alyona Averyanova.
The expert explained that with a calorie deficit of over 30% of the daily value, the body begins to save energy by reducing overall activity. A person who decides to drastically limit the amount of food they consume may become sluggish and tired. This, Averyanova explained, will further slow down the weight loss process and increase cravings for more harmful foods.
Averyanova recommended returning to the usual diet gradually, maintaining regular meals and paying attention to sufficient protein intake. In addition, she urged to consume food consciously.
"It is necessary to eat without distractions from movies, gadgets or work tasks, chewing slowly and paying attention to the taste, because this way the feeling of fullness comes faster. It is also important to identify situations that provoke overeating: stress, fatigue, meals "for company". Awareness of these moments allows you to choose an alternative action in advance," the nutritionist said in an interview with Gazeta.Ru».
The specialist explained that an increase of 1-2 kg after the holidays is usually associated not with fat gain, but with excess salt, alcohol consumption and decreased physical activity. When you return to your usual diet and movement, this weight usually goes away without additional effort.
Nutritionist Alla Makarova on December 17, 2025 shared tips on "lightening" traditional New Year's dishes, which will allow you to spend the holidays without feeling heavy in your stomach. According to her, it is necessary to make classic treats more useful, for example, replacing sausage with chicken breast, and mayonnaise with Greek yogurt.
