It is almost impossible to cut down calories during Diwali. However, you can try to cut down calories by using the following smart ways.

  1. Prepare yourself for the Diwali –

    This means you need to be careful from few days in advance and have a check on your calorie intake right from the morning of Diwali. You can replace your usual breakfast with food items that have minimum calories so that you can have space for more calories in the evening when you will have to meet friends and relatives.

    Avoid drinking 4 – 5 cups of tea or coffee when at work. This will help you cut down 200 – 250 calories.

  3. Cut down Intake of Cola –

    Drinking a cola bottle with lunch means additional 145 calories. Avoid this and you will have a good space.

  4. Workout –

    Make up your mind to add some time to your workout schedule before and after Diwali. This will help you shred some of the additional weight and also prepare your body not to absorb fat through sweets and other rich food items.

  6. Food Rich in Fiber and Water –

    Try to opt for food items that are rich in fiber and enjoy your food while you eat.

  7. Take Small Portions –

    This becomes very important when you have to visit friends and relatives the Diwali night. Eating less will help you eat sweets and food items from different friends.

  8. Choose Low Calorie Sweets –

  9. Dinner –

    Pay attention to what you take at dinner. Since this is at your home you can either take low calorie food items, no carb diet or simply drink a glass of buttermilk and skip dinner. It is completely up to you and what you had the entire evening.

  10. Visiting Friends –
