Do you like going to parties or 'shows' that serve buffet food? Of course, for many people this is what we've been waiting for. Can take food at will until satisfied and truly full. However, for those of you who want to lose weight, buffet food can be a nightmare. Resisting the temptation not to take a lot of food is a very difficult thing, moreover the food that is served is good for you. But, don't worry because you can do the tips below to deal with buffet meals.
1. Eat first before leaving
If many people intentionally don't eat before leaving for a party so they can try all the food there. So, different from you who are controlling your food intake. Try not to go hungry. Hungry at parties makes you tempted to take all the food you want. As a result, you too overeat.
2. Drink before eating
Remember, drink before you eat. This can help you control your hunger, so you don't take too much food. Sometimes, you may feel real hunger is just thirsty.
3. Choose food smartly
‘Many people’ diseases when faced with buffet food are taking all the food available in large portions. In fact, not all of these foods can be spent. For that, you need to take food carefully. Look first at what foods are served and what considerations you want to take. You might consider this:
- The first thing you have to do is fill your plate with vegetables. Fiber in vegetables can make you fuller
- Choose one or two types of foods high in fat or high in calories you want to take. Like, meat, chicken or fish. Choose foods that you really want and maybe what you've never eaten. This is to help you quickly fill up and avoid overeating.
- Take a source of carbohydrates (such as rice or noodles (choose one)) in a small portion. Or, it's better if you avoid it.
4. Keep your portion small
Taking small portions of food allows you to take more types of food, but with less calories. Taking lots of food is sometimes just to satisfy your curiosity about the taste of the food, not really your desire to eat it. So, it's better to take small portions of food so that it's not excessive. Don't fill your plate.
5. Choose to drink water rather than sweet drinks
Even though sweet drinks, syrups, soft drinks, or similar drinks make you interested in taking them, it's recommended that you don't drink them. Sweet drinks will only increase your calorie intake, without giving more nutrition. It's better if you only take water that doesn't contain calories. If you have a hard time resisting the temptation, just taking a sweet drink of one glass is enough.
6. Don't forget there are desserts
Maybe you will usually miss this when you come to the party. The only desserts provided are fruit or pudding that you are used to eating, so you are reluctant to take it. However, such thoughts can actually make you take more food.
Leaving a little space in your stomach for fruit as a dessert can help you reduce your intake of calorie intake. Fruit contains less fiber, nutrients, and calories than other desserts (such as pudding, cakes, and ice cream). So, this helps you fill up faster.
7. Eat with the stomach, not with the eyes
Feel your stomach well. If your stomach already says full, you should not take food again. Faced with so much food, sometimes it only makes you 'eye hungry' so you want to take as much food as possible.
