Christmas is just around the corner, and that means the calendar is filled with business lunches, family celebrations, and countless dinners and snacks with friends. Turrón (nougat), chocolates, marzipan, Roscón de Reyes ( Roses of the Kings), chocolate con churros (chocolate with churros), and every kind of sweet treat you can think of will be the real stars of this season.
Therefore, for the remaining month and a half, it's a good idea to follow a healthy and balanced diet to cope with all those binges next month. Following this type of diet doesn't necessarily mean eating salads and grilled chicken breasts every day. We know that's incredibly boring and unsustainable over time, as you'll get tired of it and end up resorting to less-than-healthy options.
There are countless recipes that you can enjoy to the fullest while also properly nourishing your body. As a general rule, all the dishes you prepare should have more vegetables than carbohydrates and proteins. Therefore, if you divide your plate into four parts, two of them should be vegetables, one-quarter carbohydrates, and the remaining quarter protein.
This way, you'll achieve a proper balance of all the ingredients. To avoid getting bored and always cooking the same vegetables, we recommend choosing those that are in season, as this will allow you to vary them from month to month and make them much cheaper. You can also try cooking them with different techniques, such as grilling, baking, or steaming.
