Lighter You Post-Festivities Recipe & Meal Planner: Cook your way into a healthier, slimmer you.

By Galina St George

I am yet to meet a person who wouldn't overindulge themselves on big holidays like Black Friday or Christmas. While we enjoy the yummy treats, the feeling afterwards is far from enjoyable. We feel heavy, bloated, lethargic and unhealthy. Many of us also feel guilty. Is it any wonder that all sorts of diets and special offers of gym memberships start popping up in our newsfeed and email boxes after those big holidays? Do we have to start yet another diet and fail or buy a gym membership which we are only going to use for a month? It's for you to decide.

What we can certainly do is take steps to a healthier life before we make these often expensive (and in case of failing to follow through with it, disappointing) decisions.

Why not start with just going on 30-minute daily walks? We don't even have to make a special effort if we have to go to work every day. Could we perhaps walk instead of taking a bus to the station?

As for food, we could start by lightening up ourselves by eating less stodgy foods. I am not going to give you advice on what to eat. You may be a vegan, vegetarian or a low-carb meat eater. I guess we can all agree that increasing the intake of non-starchy vegetables could be a good start.

It is up to you what foods you would like to eat more and less of. The main thing is to be mindful of what and how much you eat. This Lighter You Post-Festivities Recipe & Meal Planner aims to help you start planning your own meals and creating your own lighter recipes. The goal is to not only help you lose those extra pounds but also create a healthy habit of mindful eating for a healthier, happier, lighter you.
