3 Powerful ways to maintain a healthy weight this Eid

Ah, Eid Elfitr is finally around the corner, what a delightful time to experience! It’s where the family gathers to spend lovely times and eat the famous Kahk and other delicious delicacies, and have some joyful times and make great memories. All of this is great, but it remains a quite common issue: some people can fall into the trap of eating too many desserts that might affect their weight in unfavorable ways. We hear you, so we have 3 recommendations for you that you could start following right away:

1. Be mindful:

• It’s quite easy to follow your urge to munch on one or two pieces, something that could very easily turn into 4, 5, or even more pieces, and suddenly we find out that we have consumed 3 or 4 times the amount we originally planned to enjoy. One effective solution is to practice mindfulness; only engage in the eating process, while experiencing food with all your senses, something that could bring the feeling of satiety more quickly.

2. Eat your healthy food first:

• Bring yourself to eat and fulfill your initial hunger with healthy food choices to avoid the trap of overconsumption of Eid delicacies, besides, you can choose a wide range of delicious food choices that could both satisfy your cravings and fill you simultaneously, so perhaps you could skip the extra dessert altogether. Check out some fantastic meals offered by DeNu in its lite bundles that can help you both enjoy food minus the guilt!

3. Exercise:

• While not the primary solution, keeping constant exercise, especially during Eid times can aid the process of maintaining a healthy weight, which can be achieved by burning the extra calories, maintaining a good metabolism, and improving your mood. All those things may help you ditch the need for unnecessary snacking which might add some extra weight.

A gentle reminder:

Eid is a great time that is loved and cherished by many people, and while it can be very tempting to indulge in extra Kahk pieces and all sorts of cookies and other delicacies, it could be useful to be prudent and mindful of your consumption, enjoy a bit of the Eid desserts in moderation, maintain enough exercise. Doing so can help you enjoy Eid to the max while maintaining the healthy lifestyle you have worked for, and achieve the highest level of life satisfaction.
