We all know the theory, so here is how to put this wise principle into practice with many ideas of light dishes, but with taste
December is the month with the highest rate of flab: impossible (and wrong) to give up the toast with friends, the greeting dinner with relatives, the exchange of gifts with panettone attached. Actually i chiletti accumulated at Christmas I'm usually alone temporary, what it makes a difference it's eating habits that you follow on non-festive days and meals. A saying (very wise) states that "you don't get fat from Christmas to New Year but from New Year to Christmas". With the three light and delicious winter menus that we propose you will not have to fear any delicious occasion, as long as you do not make every meal from the beginning of December to January 6 a dinner.
For those who don't give up meat
During the holidays there will certainly not be missing meat, especially rich and tasty cuts such as roasts and braised meats. Better, then, opt for the White meat in your light winter menus, especially because it is more digestible. Always remember combine proteins, carbohydrates is fat good (ie our extra virgin olive oil) at each meal and to prefer the raw vegetables and i grain cereals with bread, pasta and starchy foods. So for lunch, you could prepare awarm barley salad with chicken breast morsels, sautéed radicchio and a pinch of curry to precede or accompany with a rich big salad mixed. For dinner, however, the rabbit with endive and vegetables accompanied by a small portion of potatoes parsley it is a light meal with a delicate but satisfying taste.
Light and seasonal seafood dishes
In theory, it would perhaps be more appropriate to opt for the fish, which is light and satiating and usually less consumed during the holidays (if not at the Viglia, for those who eat lean). An idea for lunch could be araw artichoke salad – bitter vegetables are those that have particular detox properties – e boiled octopus, to accompany with some potatoes parsley (perhaps advance the night before from the light winter meat menu, so as to speed up the time). At dinner the perch rolls in savoy cabbage they are a guest-proof dish. Accompany them with del basmati rice and savoy cabbage with turmeric for a complete dinner with an oriental touch.
Light winter menus for everyone: the vegetarian version
The lentils they are not eaten only on New Year's Eve, on the contrary. Since it would be wise to reduce the consumption of packaged products, rich in salt and hidden calories, if you do not consume meat and fish, avoid vegetable and related burgers. For lunch you could prepare a lettuce risotto, omitting the mozzarella, and then eating some eggs a boiled with a colorful carrot and radicchio salad. An invigorating lentil soupinstead, it is ideal for dinner to warm up after a cold winter day.
