STARTERS
- You can start with salads and olive oils or grilled vegetables before meals. In this way, you can enter the New Year lighter and happier and feel better. At the same time, it is worth starting the meal with soup. When you start eating with soup, you benefit from being more controlled in the main dish and taking fewer calories.
PROTEIN
- Turkey meat, which is indispensable for Christmas as a main dish, is a good choice. I think turkey meat should come to mind and be consumed more often, not just on New Year’s Eve. It contains higher protein than red meat and chicken, and is also lower in fat.
FRUITS
