Diet menu for New Year 2021 - very tasty recipes!

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.

“Beef under a fur coat” for the New Year 2021

Under a fur coat you can make not only herring, but also beef. To prepare such a festive dish you need to prepare:

§ beef tenderloin – 400 g;

§ small zucchini – 1 piece;

§ small eggplant – 1 pc.;

§ butter – 180-200 g;

§ salt and spices - to taste.

How to cook:

First you need to prepare the eggplant. It should be cut into pieces about 10 mm thick, rub each with salt and leave for 20 minutes. After this, rinse the vegetable pieces and place in a colander to drain excess water. This must be done so that the eggplant does not become bitter.

Cut the meat into portions, and cut the zucchini, as well as eggplants, into centimeter-thick slices. Melt the butter in the crust. Cover a baking sheet with foil and grease it with oil. Place the meat on foil, sprinkle with spices and add salt on top. For each piece of meat, put 1-2 slices of zucchini and also add salt, and place a slice or two eggplants on top. Pour melted butter over the prepared meat portions, wrap in foil and place in a preheated oven, where the temperature is already kept at 180°C. The meat needs to be baked for 30-40 minutes and can be taken out to the table immediately. Tasty and simple. And as a side dish for beef under a fur coat, you can serve rice or potatoes, preferably baked.

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.

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!

Turkey cutlets

Bell peppers add juiciness and color to the ground turkey. Take red, orange or yellow peppers, they have more nutrients than green ones.

TURKEY CUTLETS RECIPE

What you need: 600 g turkey meat (thigh, fillet, breast) 1 large onion (120 g) 1 large sweet pepper (150 g) 1 egg 2/3 teaspoon salt 1 clove of garlic (optional) dill, cilantro, parsley, mint (optional) spices of your choice: ground black and red hot pepper, cumin, basil, oregano, thyme 1-2 tbsp. spoons of olive oil

How to make turkey cutlets:

Wash and dry turkey parts. Remove skin and fat.
Wash and peel the vegetables. If using garlic, press it through a press.
Cut the meat and vegetables into pieces and mince them twice or grind them in a food processor.
Beat the egg into the minced meat, add salt and pepper, add finely chopped fresh herbs if desired and knead the minced meat. If the minced meat is too liquid, add bran or instant oat flakes without additives.
With wet hands, form into patties.
Grease the multicooker bowl with oil, place some of the cutlets and cook for 30 minutes on the “Baking” program with the lid closed. After 15 minutes, turn the cutlets over.

ADVICE

You can also put other vegetables in the minced meat for cutlets, not just sweet peppers. White cabbage, Chinese cabbage, finely grated carrots or zucchini and even boiled beets - there is room for experimentation!

Recommendations

When preparing dietary dishes, the following recommendations should be considered:

There is no need to replace yoghurt dressings with mayonnaise. Even a small amount of a high-calorie product will turn the dish into the main enemy for the figure;
It is worth giving preference to dietary meat: lean veal, beef, chicken fillet or turkey breast;
You should not get carried away with salt. Salt retains water and does not promote weight loss;
Food should be baked, boiled or steamed. Vegetables are best consumed raw.

Nutritional Features

Dietary nutrition is a well-designed diet that helps maintain health and weight in optimal condition. The consumption of fats and carbohydrates is reasonably limited, and food is taken in small portions 5-6 times a day.

Dietary food is divided into two types:

therapeutic (for example, for pancreatitis);
preventive (for weight loss).

In both cases, all fried, fatty, too spicy and salty foods are prohibited. They are being replaced by vegetable salads, boiled meat, baked fish and healthy desserts.

Any high-calorie dish can be turned into low-calorie by replacing and eliminating some ingredients. But many dietary products combine perfectly with each other, creating incredible taste. It’s worth preparing one of the dishes according to the New Year’s dietary recipe and see for yourself!
