The goal is to lose weight by the New Year. Let's make a plan and act!
Lose weight for the New Year? Perhaps every second woman sets this goal a few weeks before the holiday. Which one of them achieves this goal? Units. Why so little? The point is the wrong approach to losing weight. Losing 10 kilograms in one month will still not be possible - at least in normal ways that do not harm the body. But tightening up your figure and fitting into a dress one size smaller is quite possible. The main thing is to make a clear plan and know where to start.
How to lose weight for the New Year in a month
It is best to start losing weight gradually, at least a month before the New Year.
The body easily tolerates long-term weight loss, you experience less stress and get used to the new diet. Strict diets negatively affect the body. This threatens that everything eaten during the New Year holidays will quickly remain on your sides.
The New Year's diet requires following several rules. First of all, baked goods, sugary drinks, sweets, beets, smoked and fried foods, lard, sausage and pickles should be excluded from the diet. Drink more plain water.
You shouldn’t overeat, it’s better to eat small meals - about 5 times a day. Twice a week, do a fasting day on buckwheat - in the evening, pour kefir over the cereal and eat it the next day.
Don't forget about physical activity. Walk more, do daily exercises at home (at least 20 minutes), join a gym, pool or skiing.
Proper nutrition and an active lifestyle versus diets.

What exactly should you not do?
Go on strict diets. What is the essence of all strict diets? There is little, very very little, much less than usual. This way you deprive your body of vital elements and vitamins. Simply put, you don’t have enough strength and energy to live, work, let alone prepare for the New Year.
Starve. Everything is the same, only worse. To live, a person needs to eat, such is nature. A fasting day once a month is one thing, but eating nothing at all is another. In the end, if you are going to lose weight just before the New Year, imagine: you ate almost nothing for a month, and then sat down at the festive table. Believe me, the body will not say “thank you” to you.
Take diet pills. Don't poison yourself, take care of your health. Perhaps they will indeed move the scales down, but is beauty worth such sacrifices?
Set unrealistic goals. As we have already said, you don’t need to dream of losing 10–15 kilograms in one month. It's difficult and harmful. Even a few kilograms is a small step forward. Plus, you may not need to lose more than 5 kg.

What should the diet be like?
Let's start with nutrition. How many diets doctors, stars, and nutritionists offer us! Thousands. Kefir, buckwheat, cabbage, Dukan, protein, alkaline, carbon, Japanese, Mexican, blood type and even chocolate! The list goes on and on. You need to understand that if you ate pasta every day, you will not be able to switch to a low-carb diet in one day. The body will demand the pasta back! Choose a diet that doesn't deprive you of everything you're used to. Let there be sweets, but in small doses; let there be meat, but only lean and boiled.
Of course, you will have to give up chips, hamburgers, soda, chocolate bars and fried potatoes. In principle, the essence of most diets is this: less carbohydrates and salt, more protein, water, fruits and vegetables.
We will offer you only one diet option - you can look for a more suitable nutrition system or follow this one.
You can: lean red meat, turkey, chicken, fish, olive oil, dairy products, eggs, fruits, vegetables, whole grains, still water.
Not allowed: canned, smoked, salted and fried foods, carbonated drinks, alcohol, refined sugar, white flour, coffee, black tea, energy drinks, chocolate.
Variety is important. Mono-diets are bad because you start eating the same thing every day, and after a week you are already sick of buckwheat or boiled chicken. The more varied your diet, the easier it will be to bear the rigors of losing weight. Keep a sample menu for the day.
Breakfast (choose one):
- warm sandwich with rye bread, lettuce, boiled egg and a slice of boiled chicken; fruit.
- 200 g oatmeal with dried fruits; ⅔ glass of milk 1%; fruit.
- two-egg omelette; tomato; 30 g cheese; baked apple with honey and cinnamon.
Lunch (choose one):
- salad with chicken breast, cherry tomatoes, herbs and honey and Dijon mustard dressing; fruit.
- fish fillet with vegetable salad; rye toast; fruit.
- 250 ml soup with chicken and vegetables; lettuce leaves with tomatoes, cucumbers, bell peppers and onions, dressed with olive oil.
Dinner (choose one):
- steak with a side dish of fresh vegetables, natural yogurt.
- baked bell peppers stuffed with brown rice and ground beef; baked apple with honey and cinnamon; water.
- skinless chicken fillet; side dish of baked vegetables; Herb tea.
This menu is just a suggestion of how you might eat for the next four weeks. You must come up with new dishes, experiment with all the products that are part of your diet. And don't forget about snacks - you need them to eliminate the slight feeling of hunger that will constantly torment you throughout the day.
What's good for a snack? A jar of yogurt, a bunch of grapes or an apple, a couple of rye breads, 150 g of vegetables, a few nuts. Such snacks will save you from the temptation to buy a chocolate bar from the machine and eat it while no one is looking. However, you should not have 10 snacks a day, otherwise the diet will completely lose its meaning (in fact, you only need two - second breakfast and afternoon snack).
