It’s most difficult for a person losing weight during the holidays, because during the celebrations 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
• Skim 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
• Onion
• 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 it all over with the prepared broth 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
• Marinated mushrooms
• Buckwheat
• Greenery
• 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 onion
• 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
• Greenery
• 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.

• Champignon
• Carrot
• Parsnip
• Greenery
• 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
• Greenery
• 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
• Greenery
• 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!

The taste of this puree is 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
• Greenery
• Olive oil

We clean and cut all products. Then we combine the vegetables in equal proportions and simmer in a saucepan or pan, 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
• Champignon
• 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 well, 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.

Beverages

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 off 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
• Cereals

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.

It's no secret that many young ladies make great efforts to maintain their proportions in their original form. A variety of tricks are used: special teas, physical activity and, first of all, special nutrition, which is most often called the generic word “”.

Many people who are not familiar with the arts of cooking and weight loss believe that diet is something sad, because a girl must exhaust herself every day, eating a cabbage leaf and half an apple. But in reality this is absolutely not the case. A huge number of dishes have been invented that have excellent taste and smell, but at the same time have a small amount of those terrible calories.

For those who still adhere to such a nutritional system, the New Year becomes a difficult, sometimes unbearable test. After all, according to tradition, it should be celebrated at a richly laid table, and eating at night has never brought anything good to anyone. In order to try to find a compromise between these two factors, you just need to work out a suitable New Year's dietary menu. The choice here is huge, but in order to make it a little easier, we will, as always, give a few recommendations.

Snacks and salads

Thanks to kind suppliers who bring fresh vegetables and fruits even in winter, New Year's salads and snacks can also be light and tasty.




1. For example, you can cook stuffed tomatoes. To do this, you need to cut off the tops of vegetables of the same size, remove the pulp and fill the resulting void with filling. It can be prepared from a mixture of boiled rice, chopped olives, garlic, tomato insides and a large amount of herbs.




2. By the way, tomatoes can be used in another form: cut into circles, add a spoonful of fried minced chicken mixed with herbs, sprinkle with grated low-fat cheese and bake in the oven or microwave until the cheese melts. Instead of tomatoes, you can use other vegetables (tomatoes or pre-baked eggplants) as well as other fillings: for example, cottage cheese mixed with herbs and garlic.



3. Can be used fresh cucumber rolls . To do this, you need to cut them into longitudinal layers, roll them into a cylinder, pin them with a skewer and put the filling inside.




4. Another tasty and low-calorie dish can be baked shrimp . To do this, peeled shrimp should be placed in a baking dish and poured with a mixture of olive oil, lemon juice, herbs and garlic and left in the oven for 10-15 minutes at 200 degrees.




5. As a general matter, you can present very light vegetable salad made from chopped apple, celery root, cucumbers and cheese, seasoned with unsweetened yogurt. By the way, you can put it on a plate in the shape of a snake, garnishing it with sliced ​​rings of olives that imitate scales.

Main course




If you have firmly decided to prepare dietary recipes for the New Year, then it is best to use baked fish . For example, salmon fillet on a bed of vegetables. For this dish, you need to marinate portioned pieces of fillet in advance: salt and cover with lemon slices for half an hour. At this time, you need to prepare a vegetable pillow: grate the carrots, cut the onion into half rings, mix and place on square pieces of foil. Place a piece of fish on top of the pillow and cover it with slices of tomatoes and lemon. Fold the foil into a boat and pour a little wine inside. Place everything together in the oven at 200 degrees for half an hour. Serve this delicious yet light dish directly in foil.

Dessert

On the one hand, dessert is the most enjoyable part of the New Year's, and any other table. But on the other hand, it is also the strongest temptation for all women who are struggling for a slim figure. Especially if these are traditional New Year's pastries, cakes, chocolate cookies and other tasty, but not very waist-friendly foods.
Instead, you can prepare dietary dishes for the New Year of the Snake, for example, a light dessert made from fresh or canned fruit. Eg, pineapple cream . By the way, this fruit has long established itself as the first assistant for everyone losing weight.




For it you need a can of canned pineapples, 500 grams, two eggs, 3 tablespoons of sugar and one tablespoon of flour. Mix the yolks with flour, sugar and pineapple syrup, grind and heat in a water bath until a thick cream forms. At the same time, beat the whites until smooth. Combine both masses, mix thoroughly, add chopped pineapple pieces with chalk (keep some for decoration). Place everything together in bowls and leave in the refrigerator. The resulting volume should be enough for four servings.

This diet menu for the New Year, which is quite easy to follow and fit, will appeal to all women who think they have a couple of extra pounds. But, for sure, everyone else will not deny themselves the pleasure of trying such mouth-watering dishes.

Slave of the stomach or its master? As the New Year holidays approach, proper nutrition is increasingly under threat. We are faced with an impossible task: to satisfy our gastronomic needs and at the same time not to cancel out the efforts spent on transforming our figure. In fact, preparing dietary New Year's dishes is not as difficult as it seems at first glance.

People have always wanted to be healthy and beautiful, so they have long come up with delicious low-calorie holiday dishes. As they say, both yours and ours: it’s good for your stomach and your figure hasn’t been spoiled. The main thing is to initially plan your New Year's table, following simple recommendations.

Rules of the New Year's dietary table

In order to adhere to proper nutrition as much as possible, let us recall several basic selection criteria for preparing food for the New Year or Christmas table.

Baking is healthier than frying

When frying food, a huge amount of fat accumulates, which is harmful not only to its appearance, but also to the body as a whole.

When baking, more nutrients are retained, and the product remains juicy and tasty. The main thing is not to use mayonnaise and sour cream in the marinade. Even low-calorie products, these products do not make the dish dietary.

You can use olive oil and spices for the marinade; this will not only give an amazingly subtle aroma, but also softness and tenderness to the taste.

The choice of side dish is important

When choosing a side dish, base it on how caloric the product is. Rice (brown or brown), baked broccoli, and cauliflower are rightfully recognized as the best.

If these dishes are not too festive for the New Year's table, then the only thing is that the product you choose is not subjected to such a type of heat treatment as frying.

Grass and greenery

The indisputable basics of proper nutrition (unless, of course, they are fried).

Fresh vegetables and herbs will serve as a wonderful table decoration, and to make them look less casual, you can put them together into New Year-themed compositions. The only question is imagination.

Cutting: to be or not to be

Since our table, although dietary, is still New Year’s, and the soul and stomach require a holiday, cutting cheese and sausage is quite acceptable.

In order not to provoke lost fat deposits to return, you should not make sandwiches, since they contain quite high-calorie foods. But no one bothers you to put cheese and sausage plates on the table if they are low-fat.

Alcohol issue

As we know very well, alcohol, by its nature, not only contains calories, but also awakens the worst enemy of a good figure on a holiday - appetite. Therefore, if you decide that a party without alcohol is not a party, then you should choose alcoholic drinks with a minimum sugar content: if it is wine, then dry, in extreme cases, semi-dry; If it's champagne, then it's brut.

As for soft drinks, sweet carbonated water should be excluded in principle, and only natural and freshly squeezed juices should be used.

You can replace lemonade with sugar-free compote, fruit smoothie, water with lemon juice. Also choose tea, hibiscus, coffee and other drinks that can be served without sugar.

Cold appetizers are a must on any holiday table.
