A quick one-day diet, to be done in the days immediately following Christmas, New Year and Epiphany.

This is what the Vita da Mamma website suggests , which in this article uses the advice of nutritionist Dr. Maria Paola De Biase to illustrate a quick or compensatory diet, to be done on December 27, January 2 and January 7.
What about other non-holiday days, you ask?

After having been off for a day on this quick diet, days 28 to 30 and days 2 to 5 can be spent adopting a normal diet. That is, make a first course based on complex carbohydrates (rice, pasta) or cereals and legumes as a single dish for lunch, remaining on 80 grams with a simple dressing or 40 grams of legumes and 40 of pasta. And a dinner made of a protein dish (meat or fish or natural tofu) and a side dish at dinner. Fruit snacks or low-fat yogurt.

The important thing is to observe these three more rigid days to get back the caloric excess of the holidays and reduce the belly a little. Here is the quick diet scheme for December 27th and January 2nd and 7th.

FAST ONE-DAY OR COMPENSATION DIET

Breakfast:   a glass of skimmed or soy milk (180 ml) or a 125 gram low-fat yogurt and a packet of pavesini, or coffee or tea with 2 rusks and 2 teaspoons of jam.

Mid-morning and mid-afternoon snack: a portion of fruit (or a fruit of your choice) with little sugar such as clementines, around 130 grams.

Lunch and dinner:   a generous portion of cooked vegetables (cabbage, beets, spinach, turnips, chicory, etc.) or salad (lettuce, tomatoes, fennel, cucumbers) with a teaspoon of oil. Chicken breast or turkey breast or fish, an average portion of 120 grams for meat and 140 grams for fish.
