Tips for Eating Cookies but Maintaining Weight, Let's Not Fail the Diet!

Dream - The first day of Eid al-Fitr 1444 H may have passed. However, the Lebaran cookies at your home are probably still abundant because they were provided in a large quantity. The stack of cookies or food in the jar is certainly very tempting and hard to resist.

Not to mention the temptation when served with food or cookies when visiting relatives' houses. Usually, you will be greeted with various cookies, chicken opor, and other Lebaran specialties.

All of these foods have high calories and fat that can cause diet failure if consumed excessively. Dream friends need to control the amount of food consumed to avoid weight gain during Lebaran.

Through her Instagram post, Diet Coach, Velda Masili denies the statement that Lebaran food will definitely cause weight gain. Even if you still believe in that assumption, Velda shares tips on enjoying cookies while maintaining weight and controlling daily calorie intake.

“Try one first and enjoy the taste, 1 cookie is around 50-100 calories. Take one more, another 50-100 calories, okay. Now you know the taste, right?"

Well then, see you tomorrow,” she wrote.

If there are quite a lot of cookie variants that you want to try, you can consume one piece of each type and estimate the number of calories to keep your weight under control.

3 Simple Things that Can Cause Diet Failure

Dream - It is not difficult to find information about healthy diets on social media or the internet. You can learn virtually from various sources.

However, the tips and tricks on social media or the internet are not always suitable for you. Dream friends still need to filter the information on social media and the internet to match their body condition.

If you often search for diet information on social media or the internet, know the following 3 things to be able to find a diet pattern that suits your body condition.

Diet recipes that are spread on social media may not necessarily reduce or increase your weight. According to nutritionist Maria Eleonora, each person has different calorie needs and body responses.

Dream friends need to calculate daily calorie needs and determine foods that have a positive impact on body health in order to determine the best diet.

You can also find out the number of calories in each food ingredient using certain applications. But keep in mind that processed foods can have different calorie and nutrient content than before.

2. Not Daring to Do Weight Training

Some people, especially women, are reluctant to do weight training because they are afraid it will make their bodies look bigger, wider, or more muscular.

However, it is not easy to make the body look muscular. Many people need to do weight training for several years to build enough muscle mass.

3. Anti White Rice

White rice is often considered the cause of diet failure. However, the calories in white rice are smaller compared to snacks or other unhealthy dishes.

It is better to consume white rice if you easily feel hungry. Moreover, if in the end, you consume snacks with higher calories. Adjust your eating patterns according to your body's needs to maintain a healthy body and easily achieve your ideal weight even if it's not instant.
