How to make up for Epiphany sweets
Epiphany should be the feast of the little ones , yet not only them but also adults often exchange the traditional stocking full of sweets as a gift, and when mum and dad have distributed socks at night, the day of the Epiphany is often transforms into a lavish lunch accompanied by some theft of sweets, a taste of coal (pure sugar), a slice of chocolate salami or chocolate log or other traditional dessert. In short: Epiphany is like a sweeter Sunday , so you run the risk of spending a day stuffing yourself with sweets, with consequent and inevitable weight gain. What to do?
Here’s how to remedy the excess sugar while avoiding skyrocketing blood sugar, bloating, extra pounds.
1) DRINK MUCH MORE:sugar works like salt, it retains liquids. Drink lots of water between main meals.
2) STAY WELL COVERED : it seems strange, but the colder you get, the more you burn, the more you burn, the more you tend to want sweets. Today, however, they are close at hand. The solution to resist is to avoid getting cold.
3) DRINK COFFEE AND BITTER TEAS: hoping that you do it already, drink bitter everything you usually sweeten. This will make the sweets sweeter, therefore more cloying.
4) REDUCE CARBOHYDRATES IN FAVOR OF FATS AND VEGETABLE PROTEINS, BUT ESPECIALLY VEGETABLES AND FRUITS:Epiphany is the day of half a plate of pasta in favor of the second protein, preferably fish, eggs or vegetable proteins (legumes, tofu) and it is the day without bread. If you have already eaten sweets, there is no point in adding an extra load of carbohydrates. Rather in the evening, dine with a mixed salad and fruit salad without sugar, preferring green apples, citrus fruits, red fruits.
5) RUN IN THE MORNING: do not indulge in sweets after lunch, if you really have to taste something, do it from morning to the end of lunch. Afternoon and dinner, hydrate yourself a lot, go out for a walk, relax, everything except desserts.
6) GIVE A GIFT OR … UNLEASH THE SOCK.Avoid that the desserts left over from the epiphany can last in the following days, unless you know how to dose them well. If you don’t know how to settle for a chocolate the next day, and so your children, give the extra sweets or melt the chocolate to make sweets, with the foresight to put much less sugar in the dough. So you could bake donuts and pear and chocolate cakes for children for breakfast, instead of the very sugary bars.
7) NO TO ALCOHOL: increases water retention and slows down the metabolism of what you will eat next. In short, an extra glass risks making you burn much less. Not even.
