16/01/2016 03:03

It’s most difficult for a person losing weight during the holidays, because during the celebration you really want to treat yourself to something unusual and tasty.

But popular holiday dishes are often high in calories and contain many harmful ingredients, and this is where the problems begin - you want to cook something that is not only tasty, but also not too harmful.

In fact, diet is absolutely no obstacle to a delicious feast. Today we will tell you what you can prepare for the holiday if you are on a diet. Arm yourself with your culinary notebook and write down our magical recipes!

Snacks and sandwiches

It’s hard to imagine a celebration without snacks and sandwiches, because they help not only add brightness to the festive table, but also diversify the menu.

Diet sandwiches with boiled turkey:

• Whole wheat bread
• Green salad leaves
• Cucumber
• Boiled turkey
• Low-fat cottage cheese

These sandwiches can be made in several versions - in the classic version or in the form of sandwiches.

In the first case, you need to thinly cut a slice of whole grain bread (about 0.5-0.7 cm) and grease it with low-fat cottage cheese, on which a lettuce leaf, a few slices of cucumber and a piece of boiled turkey are placed. In the second case, you need to do everything exactly the same, just this sandwich is additionally covered with another slice of whole grain bread.

If desired, you can add other low-calorie ingredients to the sandwich.

• Shrimps
• Onions
• Carrot
• Lemon
• Gelatin
• Celery root

This dish looks very festive and has an unusually delicate taste.

To prepare the appetizer, boil the shrimp in salted water for 3 minutes, then peel them from the shell. Boil eggs and broth from carrots, onions, celery root. You can also add spices to the broth, such as peppercorns or parsley and dill.

When the broth is ready, it must be strained, and then combined with soaked gelatin and brought to a boil.

Now all you have to do is beautifully place the shrimp in a festive dish, cut the boiled egg into slices, and placing it between the shrimp, pour the prepared broth over it all and let it harden.

The execution of this recipe can be the way you like best - serve the appetizer directly in a common dish or lay out beautiful flowers, pyramids, balls cut out using culinary metal molds for each guest.

• Tomatoes
• Pickled mushrooms
• Buckwheat porridge
• Green
• Vegetable oil

For this dish you need to choose ripe, but not too soft tomatoes. They should be washed thoroughly, remove the stem, and use a spoon to select the inside of the vegetable, thus forming the lids.

Next, mix the pulp with salt, herbs, pickled mushrooms, cut into small pieces, and buckwheat porridge.

To make the mixture more tasty and soft, it is recommended to grease it with a small amount of vegetable oil.

We stuff the resulting minced meat into our tomato cups and cover them with lids. It turns out to be a beautiful, tasty and satisfying holiday dish.

Salads

An integral part of any formal menu for those losing weight are salads. There should be at least three or four of them at a festive feast.

Of course, standard salads, such as Olivier salad, herring under a fur coat, salad with crab sticks, firstly, are not at all dietary, since they contain mayonnaise, and secondly, these dishes are already boring and are not considered exotic, and even more so they can no longer be called festive . Yes, you can replace the sausage with boiled chicken, but it’s hard to imagine the usual Olivier without mayonnaise - few people like olive oil in this dish.

Therefore, let's leave outdated salad recipes in the past and try new dishes - easy to prepare, tasty and dietary masterpieces that will perfectly complement the menu for any holiday.

• Korean carrots
• Boiled chicken fillet
• Pickled onions
• Olive oil

There is probably no salad recipe that is easier to prepare than this one. But, despite the ease of preparation, the combination of all ingredients gives an incredible flavor tandem. The dish turns out tender, low-calorie and at the same time piquant.

For this dish, it is best to use Korean carrots with garlic, rather than without it, and choose a wide dish as a container.

First you need to cut the boiled chicken fillet into small pieces and place it in the shape of a circle in a prepared container. Then you need to place a layer of pickled onions on the meat, lightly sprinkle it with olive oil and create a layer of Korean carrots. That's all. You can use any greens to decorate the finished dish.

• Sweet and sour apples
• Celery
• Low-fat yogurt
• Boiled egg

All ingredients for this salad need to be grated using a grater. It is advisable to use the option when the dish consists of long and thin slices. Mix all the prepared ingredients and coat the salad with low-fat yogurt.

This dish has a pleasant sweet and sour taste and an extraordinary aroma of celery, and the egg gives the salad softness and tenderness.

Vegetable salad:

Vegetable salads have always been popular during diets, because such a dish is not only light, but also healthy - vegetables are rich in vitamins.

You can combine vegetables as you like, based on your taste preferences, and you can dress such salads with any vegetable oil, homemade sauces, and low-fat yogurt.

We offer one of the options:

• Lettuce leaves
• cucumbers
• Radish
• Green onions
• Dill, parsley
• Olive oil

Vegetables need to be chopped, mixed and seasoned with oil. Thanks to the play of colors, this salad looks appetizing and beautiful.

First

First courses are not always served at formal tables, and their choice depends entirely on the tastes of the hostess. But be that as it may, if it is not the usual soup or borscht, then any first course can become a harmonious opening to the holiday menu.

Broth with salmon and herbs:

• Salmon
• Green
• Carrot

Bring the water to a boil, add rice, finely grated carrots, chopped onions, and add finely chopped salmon. Simmer the dish over low heat for 15-20 minutes, add herbs and salt to it. Seaweed looks very elegant in this dish, which you can also add to the broth if you wish.

We serve our aromatic masterpiece in small broth bowls.

• Champignons
• Carrot
• Parsnip
• Green
• Olive oil

In a heated frying pan with olive oil, fry the onions, carrots and parsnips. Then throw the champignons and our vegetable mixture into boiling water. We salt everything.

5 minutes before the broth is ready, season it with herbs.

When the soup is ready, use a blender to blend it until pureed, pour into bowls and garnish with parsley.

Light vegetable soup with parsnips:

• Carrot
• Green
• Parsnip

Peel the parsnips and cut them into slices, like potatoes for first courses. Add the vegetable to the boiling salted broth. After 10 minutes, add finely grated carrots, chopped onions, spices and herbs into the same water. Cook the soup for another 10-15 minutes and leave to brew for 30 minutes.

This dish can also be prepared using poultry meat, such as turkey or chicken. In this case, it is better to use meat broth instead of water. Execution of the soup can be classic or in the form of puree.

Second

Today, the variety of products in supermarkets allows you to prepare the most interesting side dishes, using proven recipes or experimenting with new ones. Among the huge number of dishes there are enough recipes for those losing weight.

• Canned corn
• Carrot
• Red bell pepper
• Green
• Olive oil

Rice is an excellent side dish that is healthy, filling and looks very appetizing in this dish.

To prepare this side dish we will need a tall saucepan. First you need to finely chop the onion and place it in a saucepan greased with olive oil, and then grate the carrots. When the onion turns golden, add the carrots for just a couple of minutes.

At this time, cut the bell pepper into small squares. In this case, it is best to give preference to a vegetable that is not overripe or even greenish, so that it retains its appearance and does not boil over during cooking. We also add pepper to the saucepan for 3-5 minutes.

Pour the resulting mixture with water and salt. Add rice and cook over low heat until cooked. 5 minutes before the end of cooking, add canned corn and herbs to the dish. Mix everything thoroughly and serve it to the table in wide dishes - this way guests can enjoy not only the taste of the dish, but also its appearance.

• Parsnip
• Olive or any other vegetable oil

Mashed potatoes are a constant dish on any festive menu. But in fact, potatoes are not light and dietary, as they contain quite a lot of starch. Some of us practice soaking potatoes before cooking them just to get rid of the starch, but why make such a mockery of the vegetable when there is a great alternative to this dish - parsnip puree!

This puree tastes a little sweet, but it is rich in vitamins and minerals, and can saturate a losing body with all the beneficial substances it so needs during a diet.

To prepare the puree, you need to peel the parsnips and place them in boiling and lightly salted water. As soon as the vegetables are ready, drain off the excess liquid and puree them. It is better to serve this dish with olive oil, which can be poured into a beautiful bowl or immediately poured over the finished crushed parsnips.

• Zucchini
• bell pepper
• White cabbage
• Tomatoes
• Carrot
• Green
• Olive oil

We clean and cut all products. Then we combine the vegetables in equal proportions and simmer in a saucepan or saucepan, after salting them and adding a few tablespoons of olive oil. It is best to add greens to a dish 10 minutes before it is ready, so that it has time to release its aroma and at the same time not lose its taste.

Meat and fish dishes, seafood

At least one meat or fish dish will be a worthy addition to the holiday table. At the same time, it is important for us to remember that our menu is a dietary one, therefore the recipes should be low-calorie.

• Chicken breast
• Soy sauce

Chicken breast is the leanest part of the bird, which nutritionists recommend eating for everyone who is losing weight. Chicken is rich in protein and contains virtually no carbohydrates or fat. In addition, you can always cook something festive and very tasty from this meat.

First, prepare the sauce - mix soy sauce and honey in a 2:1 ratio until smooth.

Then add some salt to the chicken breast, brush it with the prepared sauce and let it soak for several hours.

Bake the meat on a baking sheet for 40 minutes. During this time, the chicken will acquire a crispy crust and an incredibly appetizing honey shade.

• Boiled rice
• Champignons
• Carrot
• Baking foil

First we need to take care of the fish - clean and salt the carp. Then

Let's start preparing the minced meat. To do this, first fry the onions and carrots in a frying pan along with finely chopped champignons, then combine the finished mixture with pre-boiled rice. We place minced meat inside the carp, sew the fish together with thread and wrap it in foil for baking.

You need to cook the fish in an oven preheated to 180° for 30-40 minutes. Once cooked, remove the dish from the oven and let it cool. All that remains is to carefully remove the thread, decorate the fish with herbs - and you can serve it to your guests!

Seafood has always been considered a dietary product. Mussels, shrimp, squid - you can prepare more than one worthy festive dish from them. But when losing weight, it is best to give preference to baking or marinating seafood.

So, to prepare marinated mussels, we will need:

• Mussels
• Vegetable oil
• Pepper
• Spices
• Lemon

First you need to clean the mussels, then salt them thoroughly, pepper, add spices, sprinkle with lemon juice and pour over vegetable oil. Place the processed mussels in a tray and leave for a day. In 24 hours you will receive incredibly tasty marinated seafood.

By the way, this method of marinating is the safest and healthiest, because mussels are prepared using salt and their own juice, without adding vinegar.

Desserts and baked goods

If you are on a diet, then you have to limit yourself in eating sweets - buns and confectionery are prohibited. That is why desserts and baked goods for losing weight should consist of a fruit base, be low-fat and low-calorie.

Jelly rainbow in a glass:

• Beautiful transparent glasses
• Jelly of different colors and flavors

In fact, you probably won’t find a simpler dessert. To prepare this yummy, you only need store-bought jelly and beautiful dishes. But if you don’t want to use the powdered version of jelly, you can safely replace it with homemade compotes (cherry, apple, apricot), condensed with gelatin.

So, to begin with, we dilute the first jelly with boiling water and pour it about 3 cm thick onto the bottom of our bowl. Then we put the glasses in a cool place for a couple of hours.

When the first layer hardens, pour the second layer of jelly in the same way. For the second layer, choose a jelly that is contrasting in color, for example, pour red or yellow over green.

You need to do this as many times as you want to have layers in the finished dessert. The top of your culinary miracle can be decorated with any fruit. In this case, kiwi or orange look very advantageous, as they will match the color of one of the layers of our dessert.

Important to remember! All layers of jelly, except the first one, should be poured when the jelly is lukewarm and not hot. Otherwise, the top hot layer will simply melt the lower layers, and the result will not be a bright rainbow, but a chaotic jelly mixture of different colors.

Cottage cheese casserole with raisins:

• Low-fat cottage cheese
• Raisins (you can use dried apricots or even pineapple instead of raisins)
• Vanilla
• Small amount of fructose

First you need to rinse the raisins and pour hot water over them for 40 minutes. When the dried fruit has steamed, mix low-fat cottage cheese with eggs, vanilla and sweeten the mixture with fructose, add raisins.

Grease the pan with olive oil or use parchment paper. Bake the resulting dough for 30 minutes in an oven preheated to 180°.

When serving, you can decorate the dish with any seasonal fruit.

• Carrot
• Sugar
• Baking powder
• Butter

Although this recipe uses flour, the cookies are low in calories and are great for those trying to lose extra pounds.

First of all, you need to grind the carrots to a puree. This can be done either with a blender or with a regular grater. Next, grind the butter and sugar together, then add a little flour and prepared carrots.

The resulting dough should be thoroughly stirred for several minutes, and then add a little baking powder and mix everything well again.

Bake cookies in the oven at 150° for about 20-25 minutes. During this time, it will be thoroughly baked inside and acquire an appetizing golden crust. You can also make cute cupcakes from this dough - both healthy and beautiful.

If you want to spice up this recipe, you can add any dried fruits or nuts.

Drinks

It is not advisable for a person losing weight to drink any alcohol during the holidays, but you always want to pamper yourself with a tasty and unusual drink. Let's look at several options for original drinks for those on a diet.

Cocktail “Blood with milk”:

• Low-fat sour cream
• Tomato juice
• Pepper

This cocktail is an alternative to the well-known Bloody Mary, but at the same time it has a milder taste.

The drink should be consumed immediately after preparation, otherwise the sour cream may give a slight bitterness.

To begin with, you need to put a few spoons of sour cream in the glasses and pour them with tomato juice, then mix it all thoroughly so that the mass is homogeneous.

While stirring, you can add salt and pepper at your discretion. Or you can skip the pepper altogether if you are not a fan of spicy foods.

• Bananas
• Low-fat yogurt
• Low-fat milk
• Oatmeal

Very ripe bananas are not suitable for making this smoothie, so it is better to buy those that have greenish or completely green skin.

We take milk and yogurt in equal quantities, oatmeal - to taste. All ingredients must be placed in a blender and blended until smooth. There is no need to add sugar - bananas will already give the drink the necessary sweetness.

For variety, this recipe can be transformed by replacing bananas with other fruits - strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, peaches, and pears will be very tasty when combined with the banana itself.

• Lemon juice

To prepare this refreshing drink, mix lemon juice with water heated to 50° and sweeten with honey. Before serving, it is best to cool the drink, pour it into transparent glasses, provide guests with a straw, and place a slice of lemon on the glass.

If you want to make the drink even fresher and cooling, which will be very appropriate in the hot summer, then you can add mint to it, and you can even replace lemon with lime.

Many girls have been asking for a long time to create and post a sample holiday menu. I myself always wanted to make some kind of cheat sheet that would always be at hand. And since numerous New Year holidays are just around the corner, I decided to collect the best dietary dishes for the New Year 2019, and only those recipes that will not affect your figure in any way!

However, all this is suitable not only for welcoming 2019 and seeing off 2018, but also for any other celebration - birthdays, meetings with girlfriends, family holidays!

Getting ready for the holiday correctly

Our traditions are so closely connected with hospitable feasts that for most PP-ers, especially beginners, the holiday turns into real torture. Many people experience real stress on the eve of the celebrations, tormenting themselves with questions - “to eat or not to eat?”, “to drink or not?”, “how not to lose control,” “what if I get fat again from eating a sandwich?” Some even refuse to communicate with friends and family because they are afraid of not being able to restrain themselves and succumbing to temptations!

Perhaps the New Year is one of the most difficult of these holidays.

But what if you cook only healthy meals?

After all, there are so many delicious things in PP - holiday salads (light, tasty and without mayonnaise!), meat and fish, seafood and even sweets - cakes, desserts, candies!

It turns out that we won’t give up on the feast, we’ll talk to our loved ones, we’ll eat some delicious food, and we won’t forget about losing weight and a healthy lifestyle!

This is just a dream!

PP menu for the holiday: basic rules

We will create the New Year's menu so that no one goes hungry. Basically all the recipes have already been described by the site’s authors. PP Delicious! - you just need to follow the links.

It’s easy to prepare all this, since most of the recipes are “lazy”, that is, there is no need to kill yourself near the stove.

IN list of dishes for a festive dinner feast I advise you to include:

• something meaty;
• something fishy;
• sandwiches;
• 2-3 types of cold appetizers;
• several salads;
• dishes for those with a sweet tooth.

In addition, buy more fresh, varied fruits and vegetables. Be sure to think about drinks - homemade juices without sugar, compotes. , for example, is the ideal solution!

Can be done non-alcoholic mojito:

1. in 3 l. Brew 3 tablespoons of water. green tea;
2. cool, squeeze out the juice of 1 lemon, cut another half into rings and throw in like this;
3. Tear fresh mint there (a small bunch).
4. If you want, add honey or any other sweetener.

Question about alcohol on the holiday table decide for yourself. Ideally, the drinks should only be non-alcoholic, but I think a glass of champagne during the chime or wine is quite possible.

The best holiday recipes

Now let's move on to the list of what exactly will be on the dietary New Year's table.

Something meaty

The easiest way is to bake a whole chicken, rubbing it with salt and spices.

Marinate raw for an hour, bake for 2 hours at 200 degrees.

If the wing legs burn, cover them with foil.

Chicken is also good cold.

The coming year is the year of the Pig, so astrologers recommend not serving anything from pork to the festive table, which fits perfectly into the principles of proper nutrition!

Something fishy

Those who post will definitely like these recipes!

Sandwiches and snacks

Low-calorie snacks are not a myth either.! Make and cook deviled eggs - not a snack, but a real dream for those who love fitness, as There is simply a record amount of protein in such a dish - 11 g per 100 g with a calorie content of 65 kcal!

I also recommend baking grilled marinated champignons. It's easy to make them:

1. fill a 3-liter jar with mushrooms (before washing them and drying them);
2. Pour in the juice of half a lemon, 3 tbsp. soy sauce, 2 tbsp. vegetable oil and 0.5 tsp. ground chili pepper;
3. shake every 15 minutes for an hour;
4. then place the mushrooms on a baking sheet and bake for 40 minutes in the oven at 200 degrees.

Equally good hot or cold!

Low-calorie holiday salads

I don’t know why, but many people have a problem with salads for the holiday. There are just a lot of recipes, you can look for yourself, perhaps you will like some of them more than those proposed.

I offer 3 different options:

• Of course, what would a New Year be without;

What does the New Year's holiday bring each year? The smell of spruce and tangerine, children's laughter and a feeling of magic. But often they bring extra centimeters on the waist and additional numbers on the scales.

Diet and holidays

It is firmly established in our mentality that holidays mean a hearty feast! And all psychologists, trying to convince us, repeat: “Don’t make a cult out of food, find pleasure in other things.” So, is it possible to resist traditions and combine diet and holidays?

Of course yes, we will answer and offer simple but effective techniques for satisfying and healthy holidays.

Diet before the New Year

Many people begin to lose weight by the New Year or another cherished date. They do this in a month or a couple of weeks. On the morning of December 31, the number on the scales and the reflection in the mirror suits the woman. And so she calmly devotes her evening and night to feasting. Such “belly triumphs” last, as a rule, until January 7-8. And then the horror comes. After all, the weight not only returned, but also brought with it a couple of extra pounds. Why does this happen:

1. During the diet period, before the celebration, the body is accustomed to saving reserves. And when you suddenly start overeating, your body quickly begins to accumulate everything. So to speak, just in case. Therefore, it is recommended not to use starvation diets until an important date.
2. The menu of our holidays is not distinguished by modesty and diet. An abundance of pickles, mayonnaise salads, sausages, and alcohol leads to fluid stagnation. Excess salt retains moisture. Hence the swelling and additional kg.
3. Winter festivities with skiing, sledding and snowball fights have long replaced warm sofas and the “blue lights” of the TV. Lack of oxygen and physical activity is another reason for weight gain.

If you decide to lose weight and choose a diet before the new year, pay attention to the following:

• meals at least 5-6 times a day;
• food should be enough for your lifestyle, you should not feel a loss of strength;
• mandatory presence of proteins in the menu;
• and drinking regime, at least 2 liters of water per day.

Diet for the New Year

There are many reasons for maintaining a diet for the New Year and other holidays - health, religion, or an important occasion, such as a sports competition. If you decide to lead a healthy lifestyle, despite the New Year's feast, you will need tricks not to give up:

• think over and prepare dietary dishes for the holiday table;
• explain your position to intrusive relatives and friends;
• replace the entire range of alcohol with dry red wine and mineral water;
• dance more on New Year's Eve, and go for a walk on January 1;

And the most important thing in this regard is to decide for yourself: my mood and well-being are more important than feasts and overeating.

Dietary holiday dishes - general rules

The statement that all dietary dishes are tasteless, bland and boring has long become obsolete. This is not true at all. The festive table can be bright, plentiful and without mayonnaise and sausage.

If you want to serve a full table of healthy, nutritious food, you can't do it without vegetables. And even though fresh vegetables are not cheap in the harsh winter season, you can buy frozen ones. And wisely combine them with fresh ones.

Meat is an essential ingredient for both a luxurious feast and a healthy diet. To prepare dietary holiday dishes from meat, you just need to decide on the type of heat treatment:

• It is best to bake;
• steam;
• fry on the grill (or on the grill);
• as a last resort, simmer.

As you can see, there is room for every housewife’s imagination to run wild.

Festive dietary dishes, recipes

And yet, no matter how much you want to lead a healthy lifestyle, there are several traditional dishes without which a New Year's feast is impossible. We will talk about Olivier, herring under a fur coat, mimosa and jellied meat.

There are options for preparing these beloved dishes without harming your figure. And creating dietary dishes for the holiday table will take exactly the same amount of effort and time as in the classic version.

Dietary herring under a vegetable coat

We prepare the following products:

• salted or pickled herring;
• beets;
• potato;
• egg;
• carrot.

We don’t cook the beets, but bake them in the oven. You can even bake it in salt. We traditionally cook carrots, onions and eggs. Only carrots and potatoes are cooked until tender for 20-25 minutes, and hard-boiled eggs - 10. Do not overcook the food, otherwise all nutritional value will be lost.

Herring, even medium-salted, can be soaked in milk. This will remove excess salt and make the fish more tender.

Instead of factory-made, fatty mayonnaise, we use homemade sauce. Better yet, make a yoghurt, savory sauce. For this you need:

• Greek yogurt (or regular, without additives);
• garlic;
• olive oil;
• white pepper;
• sea ​​salt.

Mix a glass of yogurt with 2-3 cloves of chopped garlic and a tablespoon of olive oil. Add salt and white pepper to taste. We make an excellent, healthy and spicy sauce for seasoning herring under a fur coat.

New Year's feasts cannot take place without a basin of Olivier. But this salad can also be turned into a healthy, vitamin-rich dish.

Olivier diet

We only change the technology for preparing a few ingredients:

1. Instead of sausage, we use steamed chicken breast.
2. Instead of canned green peas, we buy frozen ones. It was poached at high temperatures and retained the vitamins. Therefore, it will be enough to defrost it and remove excess moisture.
3. Replace mayonnaise with yogurt sauce (or homemade mayonnaise).
4. We replace pickled cucumbers with fresh ones. For spiciness, it is better to add capers.

The real “king” on the table was and remains jellied meat. It is usually a fatty, spicy dish. But jelly can also become an ingredient in the New Year’s diet.

Dietary jellied meat

It is only worth replacing pork with chicken. Cooking the bird will take less time, and the taste is no worse. Add onions and carrots towards the end of cooking. If the chicken jellied meat does not harden well, you can add gelatin. This jelly will be light, transparent, with a minimum of fat and excellent taste.

During the holiday feast, we eat most salads. Usually they act as an aperitif, so we “pounce” on them first of all with an empty stomach and absorb them in considerable quantities. Which, actually, is not so bad. After all, you can prepare dietary salads for the New Year and devour them with peace of mind on both cheeks, without particularly worrying about your figure. And when it comes to main course and desserts, you will already be full and satisfied, so you won’t eat much. Tricky, right?
